Backblaze, a storage cloud platform, has contracted with Nautilus Data Technologies for 1 Megawatt deployment at their Stockton Data Center in California. The move comes as part of Backblaze's plan to expand its data center portfolio and provide more scalable, efficient, and affordable cloud solutions to its growing customer base.
Nautilus Data Technologies leverages advanced cooling and power-efficient data center solutions. The company's Stockton Data Center is a high-performance data center that operates at the highest levels of energy efficiency, with no water consumption, refrigerants, water treatment chemicals, or harm to wildlife. Nautilus commissioned the data center to be 70% more efficient than reported data center averages, supporting 7MW of critical IT load in four vaults.
By partnering with Nautilus, Backblaze aims to invest in a sustainable future for data storage while also reducing its environmental impact and lowering its total cost of ownership. "We are challenging some of the world’s biggest technology companies with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup, so efficiency and innovation are central to our success. Working with Nautilus is exciting because they are clearly committed to these same ideals," said Gleb Budman, CEO and Chairperson of Backblaze.
Rob Pfleging, CEO of Nautilus, said, "We are excited to have Backblaze on board. By partnering, we can help support their growth in a sustainable way. With our data center solutions focused on advanced cooling and power efficiency, Backblaze will not only be able to reduce their environmental impact but also lower their total cost of ownership all while continuing to meet the high demands of their growing customer base.”
Nautilus' Stockton Data Center is located within the Port of Stockton, a Tier 1 Homeland Security Port offering enhanced security located outside of seismic zones and floodplains. The data center is carrier-neutral and connected to a redundant fiber ring providing direct connectivity to a diverse group of cloud and communication providers.
