Use Cases

Wasabi can be used in many circumstances and use cases. I would like to share some of them with you so that you can know why you need it or what value it can provide you.

Archiving
Active archives, long-term archives, no matter–because at Wasabi, data storage is simply data storage. And it’s all hot storage.

Backup & Recovery
Data backup and recovery is not a problem now because Wasabi provides instant access to your backup

Content Delivery
Wasabi has partnered with innovative CDN providers including Cloudflare, Fastly, and Limelight Networks. Clients can employ Wasabi’s inexpensive, high-performance, exabyte-scale cloud storage for origin storage while using our partners’ CDN offerings to deliver content to end users—fast.

Surveillance
Video cameras are seemingly everywhere these days. Advances in IP video surveillance hardware and software coupled with increasing concerns for public safety have fueled an unprecedented rise in fixed and mobile video surveillance adoption in law enforcement, cities, retail locations, airports, large venues, and workplaces around the globe. Wasabi provides the best solution for storing your surveillance data.

Ransomware
Wasabi provides the ultimate data protection from ransomware with a secure bucket and object locking. With immutable copies of your data in the cloud, you can ease the fear of ransomware attacks and focus on running your business instead of risking losing it.

Internet of Things
Between 30 and 50 billion IoT devices are expected to be interconnected by 2020, and they’ll generate tens to hundreds of zettabytes of data to be stored, depending on which research company’s predictions you believe. Wasabi allows you to store that data at 80% less cost.

DevOps
Wasabi hot cloud storage is extremely affordable, fast and reliable cloud object storage for any purpose. Specifically conceived to make storage a commonplace utility like electricity, Wasabi is easy to understand, easy to automate and exceptionally cost-effective to scale, making it perfect for DevOps.

AI/ML
It takes huge amounts of data to “train” AI and ML applications to get meaningful results. An image recognition application, for example, needs to see “hundreds of thousands, even millions of images” before it can perform reliably, according to the GPU hardware provider NVIDIA.

Given those sorts of requirements, without a cost-effective data storage strategy, AI and ML projects may never get off the ground. Wasabi offers just such a strategy, at cost of only a fraction of alternatives including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Platform’s Cloud Storage.

Data Analytics
Data analytics are crucial to faster, better decision-making for organizations in any vertical industry. Success depends on employees having fast, secure access to vast quantities of data from wherever they may be.
That’s exactly what Wasabi hot cloud storage provides— inexpensive, high-performance, exabyte scale cloud storage that drives effective data analytics applications.

Final Thoughts

I have used Wasabi in multiple apps and so far I find it to be very the best solution to increase my bubble app storage capacity. It’s easy to use , affordable and efficient which are the plus points of using Wasabi.

There is only one more thing I wish Wasabi can provide that is direct integration into bubble app instead of using the plugin, that way I don’t have to setup workflows every time I have to upload an image to wasabi
