MSST 2014 Speaker
Gleb Budman, Backblaze
To offer an unlimited online backup service for $5/month, Backblaze needed petabytes of cloud storage at very low cost. After considering Amazon S3 and commercial hardware systems, Backblaze decided it had to build its own cloud storage. The company designed it's own 180 TB Storage Pod and open-sourced the design, which is now used by hundreds of organizations worldwide and was the inspiration for Netflix's Open Connect systems. Backblaze also wrote its own cloud storage software stack, which sits atop its Storage Pods, and is currently backing up 100 petabytes of customer data at a cost of just $0.003/GB/month - 1/10th the price of Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage. In this presentation, co-founder and CEO Gleb Budman will share how Backblaze built their low cost cloud storage and how you can as well.
