Web application leverages modern architecture for streamlined user administration and enhanced cloud storage security
SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the cloud storage innovator providing a modern alternative to traditional cloud providers, today announced a private preview program for its new enterprise web console which includes robust features like role-based access controls (RBAC) and mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for improved cloud security.

Backblaze’s upcoming Enterprise Web Console showcasing SCIM configuration.
The web console streamlines the ability for enterprises to manage their B2 Cloud Storage deployments at scale across their entire organization while providing the flexibility for departments and user groups to intuitively manage their own B2 Buckets directly. Additionally, the new console provides an improved user experience with a more streamlined, intuitive design.
The enterprise web console simplifies B2 Cloud Storage management for enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs), and hardens security with role-based access controls. These controls will provide the ability to set various permission levels for users within an organization. This eliminates unnecessary access and aligns with zero trust best practices. Mandatory MFA improves account security, and SSO or SCIM integrations enable easy administration of the entire user base.
With this upcoming release, Backblaze B2 will also provide the ability to create buckets in any region within an organization. This enables several potential applications, including:
- Ensuring data redundancy and disaster recovery through geographically distributed backup copies.
- Optimizing application performance for global users by reducing data access latency.
- Meeting data residency compliance requirements.
“With its intuitive design, the enterprise web console provides enterprises with the secure and streamlined central management dashboard they need to provision and manage their Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage at scale. It allows simple, clean access to the many enterprise-level features and innovations Backblaze has deployed, including multi-region bucket creation, role-based access controls, and our recently launched performance tier, B2 Overdrive—with room to expand and improve as we get feedback from the private preview process,” said David Ngo, Chief Product Officer.
The enterprise web console will be entering private preview in the coming weeks, with general availability planned later this year. Backblaze customers with a committed contract should contact their Customer Success Manager to learn if they are eligible to participate in the private preview.
