With this step, the company meets the increasing demand for flexible storage and ensures more proximity to German customers as well as partners looking for compliance-secure solutions in their own country. Following the recently announced location in Paris, the new location in Frankfurt marks Wasabi’s next step in its continued global company growth.

The amount of data in municipalities, schools, and companies of all sizes is growing steadily and rapidly across Germany due to increased innovation, new smart city solutions, and widespread digitalization in the education and healthcare sectors. As a result, the demand for cloud storage is increasing regularly in the region. In addition, various EU and country-specific data protection and sovereignty regulations reinforce the need for local storage solutions. The new storage location is based in the Equinix Frankfurt hub, which  allows Wasabi to address these data sovereignty concerns in Germany, and also benefit from rigorous environmental and energy management standards.

The German cloud market is growing rapidly. Wasabi’s expansion to Frankfurt helps us meet the growing demand there – while alleviating data sovereignty concerns. We continue to grow in EMEA with a sole focus on helping our customers get the most out of their data by providing them with a cost effective, high performance storage solution close to home,” said Richard Czech, VP EMEA, sales.

Wasabi’s Hot Cloud Storage has a solution that is one-fifth the cost compared to Amazon S3, with no fees for egress or API requests and no vendor lock-in. Companies are able, store all of their data securely and can access it at any time.

To meet the growing demand for cloud storage, the company has begun a global rollout of additional storage locations, which include in EMEA Amsterdam, The Netherlands, London, UK, and Paris,  France, with more to be added in the coming months in APAC and North America. It will also continue to expand its growing channel partner network across Europe, which to date includes distribution partners Exclusive Networks SAS and Ebertlang Distribution GmbH, and a network of hundreds of resellers and MSPs

Marc Fischer, director of sales at Wasabi-partner Ebertlang on the opening: “We are very pleased that Wasabi is now offering access to a data center near Frankfurt in addition to the location in Amsterdam. This means that we can now offer resellers a storage location for their data within Germany, which is particularly important for sensitive industries and represents a compelling argument when offering GDPR-compliant cloud storage.
