VAR Annex Pro From Canada Joined Wasabi Partner Network

Wasabi Technologies, Inc. announced a resale partnership with Annex Pro, a Canadian VAR for M&E, to deliver its cloud storage service to media content creators across Canada and the US.

With the partnership, Annex Pro will fulfill its customers’ evolving needs for BC and DR solutions with fail-safe backup for work-in-progress and active archives for finished content. Enabling storage in the cloud with zero egress costs, it can build solutions on the Wasabi platform to address the increasing demand for remote collaborative workflows.

Wasabi hot cloud storage offers the pricing, performance and ease of use to address the media management and access challenges faced by content professionals. It eliminates the complexity and unnecessary costs of other cloud storage services by offering a single tier of storage that is 80% less than Amazon S3 with no ancillary charges for content retrieval, API requests and data management activity. All content stored on Wasabi is accessible so the service can be used in the demanding media operations.

“We are delighted to add Wasabi hot cloud storage to the media content creation and workflow solutions we offer to customers across Canada and the United States,” said Kerry Corlett, founder and CEO, Annex Pro. “Wasabi is a game-changer in cloud storage. The service is very easy to use, and the company’s ‘no-charge for egress’ business model allows content creators – especially those working remotely – to freely access and download content from the cloud without incurring extra charges which removes uncertainty from the workflow and helps projects stay on budget.“

“From traditional broadcast and cable to the proliferation of streaming services, the M&E industry is producing more content than ever, which is introducing a myriad of new storage challenges,” said David Friend, CEO, Wasabi. “For more than 37 years, Annex Pro’s expertise in M&E has helped power the most awe-inspiring media content creation ranging from animation to visual effects and digital media.
