Backblaze is a leading independent cloud provider that makes it astonishingly easy for people to store, protect, and use their data. Its B2 Cloud Storage platform offers always-hot, S3 compatible object storage that’s readily available through APIs, CLI, Web UI, and 3rd party integrations--to seamlessly support ranging workflows and fit hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, and other IaaS strategies. Its computer backup solutions offer automatic data protection for business fleets and home Mac and PC. We're here on BrightTalk to unpack product and solution updates, discuss best practices around data storage and protection, and openly share hard drive stats based on our experience spinning >200,000 drives. Thanks for joining us.

It’s 2025 and there’s an integration for everything, including using object storage and Kubernetes in the cloud. But, there are still technical challenges and required workarounds to give your cloud-native app a stateful data repository. In this webinar, Sr. Solutions Engineer Kevin Lott and Product Marketing Manager Maddie Presland explain the current state of Kubernetes storage options, emerging open source projects we’re excited about, and a demo showcasing how you can leverage Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage with the Mountpoint for Amazon S3 container storage interface (CSI) driver.

The Hidden Cost of Cloud Storage — and How to Break Free

The traditional “bathtub curve” has long shaped how we think about drive failures: high early defects, a stable middle life, then a wear-out period. But 13 years of Drive Stats data and three different bathtub curve analyses in 2013, 2021, and 2025 challenge that view. In this webinar, we’ll explore how real-world drive failure trends are shifting. Join us to dive into both how we ran the numbers, and what it means for the state of storage more broadly.
