Wasabi Technologies has announced the expansion of its data management offerings to UK customers by leveraging its existing partnership with IBM.
The cloud storage firm said it would deploy a new storage region in IBM’s London datacentre to help new and existing UK customers utilise Wasabi AiR, an intelligence media storage solution for the sports, media and entertainment sectors. The move will also UK organisations meet their data residency requirements.
“Wasabi’s expanded footprint with IBM’s London data region allows Wasabi to address the evolving regulatory and performance needs of our UK customers,” said Wasabi Executive VP and COO Marty Falaro.
“By leveraging IBM’s Multizone Region (MZR) infrastructure, we’re able to support AI-driven requirements with secured, high-performance storage. We’re excited to work closely with IBM to deliver scalable data solutions that empower organisations to unlock the full potential of their data.”
One existing customer that will take advantage of the local availability of Wasabi AiR is Liverpool Football Club (Liverpool FC), which plans to access key sports data securely across a hybrid cloud infrastructure.
“We are storing and processing an incredible amount of club media content, and we have partnered with Wasabi because they provide the level of hot cloud storage and AI processing needed to manage our media assets securely and at scale,” said Liverpool FC Digital Senior Vice President Drew Crisp.
“Our use of Wasabi AiR’s AI technology allows us to efficiently manage our massive library of media assets, quickly access relevant content segments, and streamline content creation. We want to continue providing our fans globally with the best content in the business, and our partnership with Wasabi is helping us achieve that.”
This latest announcement extends Wasabi and IBM’s continued work to provide hybrid cloud support for sports, media and entertainment customers, which began last year.
“We’re excited to support Wasabi’s growth into the IBM Cloud London MZR,” said IBM Cloud General Manager Alan Peacock.
“We’ve invested to help ensure partners have access to a diverse set of capabilities in the regions they operate in. Our work with Wasabi will enable their clients to benefit from the security, resiliency and performance capabilities of our cloud platform.”
