Wasabi Technologies, an American object storage service provider based in Boston, expands its data management offerings for customers with IBM Cloud’s London data center to Wasabi’s storage regions to help joint customers address their evolving requirements and leverage AI with a secured enterprise cloud platform.
The influx of data associated with AI has the potential to fuel numerous business innovations, but it also introduces complexities where data resides and requires regulatory and global compliance considerations.
Wasabi’s deployment and leveraging its ability of a new storage region in IBM’s Multizone Region (MZR) London aims to help new and existing UK customers utilizing Wasabi AiR, an intelligent media storage solution for the sports, media, and entertainment segment address their data residency requirements.
Wasabi AiR customers, such as Liverpool Football Club (LFC) in the Premier League, will be able to access and leverage key sports data securely across a hybrid cloud infrastructure and unlock the joint power of this expansion. This underscores Wasabi’s role as a trusted Official Partner and provider for LFC, reinforcing Wasabi’s strategic positioning within the industry.
