Moving B2 out of beta will open it up to all interested parties.īackblaze first opened up its B2 Cloud Storage for beta in September 2015. Backblaze states that the two main benefits that they offer is that they are roughly one-fourth the price of similar competing cloud storage (AWS and Azure), it comes with a 99.9% Service Level Agreement (SLA), and B2 offers both free and premium support options.
