Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage
Enterprise-grade cloud storage. Zero hidden fees. Zero excuses.
Affordable, S3-compatible cloud object storage with zero fees for egress, retrieval, or API requests — full stop. Suitable for every kind of organisation, from education and public sector through to SMB, mid-market and enterprise.
Why Wasabi
The price on the tin is the price you pay
Traditional providers bury nearly half your bill in download and API charges. Wasabi simply doesn't charge them — so what you budget is what you spend.
Predictable budgeting
No hidden fees. No surprise invoices. Traditional providers bury nearly half your bill in download and API charges — Wasabi simply doesn't charge them.
Significant cost savings
A fraction of the cost of the big hyperscalers — roughly one-fifth to one-quarter the price of AWS, Google, or Microsoft.
Ransomware protection
Immutable Object Lock makes your backups untouchable — safe from deletion, encryption, or tampering, even if an attacker gets in.
Compliance ready
Built to meet FERPA, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements, so schools, healthcare providers, and enterprises can store sensitive data with total confidence.
High performance, always
Every byte is “hot” by default. Instant retrieval, no rehydration delays, none of the waiting around you'd get with cold archive tiers.
Where it fits
Built for the way your data actually works
Backups & disaster recovery
Plug straight into tools like Veeam and Commvault for automated, off-site replication that just runs in the background.
Active archiving
Keep digitised records, research data, and institutional or business archives on hand and ready to access — not locked away in cold storage.
AI & research data lakes
Scale securely to support machine learning, AI training workloads, and large, multi-team data projects — without scaling your costs.
Simple, transparent pricing
One rate. No small print.
Billed in GBP, with additional discounts available for volume and longer commit lengths.
Premium support is included free of charge — no add-on tiers, no upsells.
Pay by Direct Debit or invoice, billed monthly, yearly, or upfront — whatever suits your organisation.
How we compare
Storage is only half the story
It's what the big three charge you after you store the data that turns a “cheap” bill into an unpredictable one.

Figures are approximate, based on published EU/UK-region list pricing (AWS eu-west-2/EU, Google Cloud europe-west2/EU, Azure UK South/West Europe), converted from USD to GBP at prevailing exchange rates (September 2026). Hyperscalers do not publish a single fixed UK-only rate card — actual pricing varies by exact region, volume, and negotiated agreement. Wasabi pricing is our own listed rate.
The upshot: with the big three, storage is just the entry fee — download your data or run your workloads and the real bill shows up in egress and request charges. With Wasabi, the price on the tin is the price you pay.
