Partnership Between G-Core Labs and Backblaze

G-Core Labs SA, a provider of cloud and edge solutions for content delivery, hosting and security, announced a partnership with Backblaze, Inc. to provide companies with free egress traffic from storage to CDN.

The integration between G-Core Labs CDN and Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage connects object storage to the content delivery network, and can be deployed with a few clicks. Customers can expand the use cases and value they can achieve on the platforms while receiving the benefits of a reliable and affordable S3 compatible storage and a globally distributed content delivery network.

“We are constantly looking for opportunities to improve our products while creating the best possible environment and experience for our users,” said Dmitriy Akulov, director of edge services, G-Core Labs. “This partnership enables our customers to significantly reduce operating costs by eliminating all egress traffic costs between our two platforms, providing a much more affordable way to store and distribute any kind of content to a global audience.“

Delivering Dynamic Content Effortlessly and Economically
High and unexpected egress fees are often a surprise for cloud customers. The G-Core Labs CDN and Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage integration provides cloud native developers, website owners and media production teams with an inexpensive, powerful way to scale and deliver any type of content to a global audience. Users store their content in Backblaze and deliver it to end users through G-Core Labs CDN.

• Businesses using Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage can deliver mass quantities of content to their end-users using G-Core Labs powerful international network; and,
• All customers will be able to take advantage of the joint solution’s ability to simplify development processes and accelerate time-to-market for new features and services while taking advantage of the flexibility and efficiency of the cloud.

How it Works?
