Global Distribution Partners With Wasabi

Global Distribution Ltd, a VAD and manufacturer of storage, software and services for the M&E industry, has joined forces with Wasabi Technologies, Inc. to offer content creators cloud storage with known predictable costs, via Global’s extensive EMEA reseller network.  

With pricing that is less expensive than the comparable top-tier services of hyperscalers, and no charges for data egress or API request, Wasabi cloud storage is for modern hybrid media workflows, allowing content to move freely in and out of cloud storage so customer can embrace true multi-cloud workflows.

The partnership between the 2 companies is aimed at providing solutions for media professionals looking to optimize their workflows and storage capabilities.

There is a synergy between Global’s existing vendors, with many already partnered or integrated with Wasabi.

“We’re thrilled to be working together with Wasabi to provide our customers with an integrated storage solution that meets their unique needs,” said Keith Warburton, CEO, Global.  “With our existing product portfolio and Wasabi’s limitless cloud storage, we can provide customers with unparalleled flexibility and scalability, which is critical in the fast-paced world of M&E.”

“Organizations everywhere are experiencing rapid data growth, especially in M&E, where nearly 3/4s of companies expect the amount of data they store in the public cloud to increase,” said Whit Jackson, VP of M&E, Wasabi. “Our partners are vital for getting Wasabi cloud storage into the hands of media professionals globally, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Global Distribution which is widely recognized as one of the most experienced and trusted solution providers in the industry.”

This partnership will be showcased at MPTS 2023, the event for M&E professionals in the UK and Europe, held from May 10 to 11t at Olympia in London, UK. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss hybrid cloud workflow with Wasabi at Global’s stand.
