Bacula and Backblaze Form Strategic Agreement

Bacula Systems SA announced a strategic partnership with Backblaze, Inc. to help organizations with large or complex IT environments seeking protection to use a single backup and high speed recovery platform combined with especially high value and easy cloud hot storage.

The partnership further broadens Bacula’s wide compatibility with diverse technologies.

“Customers of both Backblaze and Bacula are typically from medium or large organizations that are looking for simplicity, single tier storage, ransomware protection, and keeping costs down,” said Elton Carneiro, senior director, partnerships, Backblaze. “This strategic partnership helps both companies to work together to increase security and drive costs down for our customers.“

Companies’ combined technologies deliver:
