Overview

Backblaze B2 is a cloud object storage service that is significantly more affordable than its larger competitors like Amazon S3. While not a MAM itself, it is a critical component of modern archive workflows. Many MAM systems (like iconik and Archiware P5) can use Backblaze B2 as a storage target for long-term archives. It provides durable, scalable, and low-cost storage for media files, making it an ideal choice for offsite backup and deep archiving.

āœØ Key Features

  • Low-cost object storage (approx. 1/5th of S3)
  • S3 compatible API
  • No minimum storage duration fees
  • Free egress up to 3x monthly storage
  • High durability and reliability
  • Integrates with a wide range of MAMs and backup tools

šŸŽÆ Key Differentiators

  • Radically transparent and low pricing.
  • No complex storage tiers (like Glacier); all data is 'hot'.
  • Generous free egress policy.

Unique Value: Provides enterprise-grade, S3-compatible cloud storage at a fraction of the cost of major cloud providers, with simple, predictable pricing.
