The additional capital will be used to further accelerate Wasabi\u2019s worldwide roll-out of data centers and to grow the company\u2019s distribution channels and partner network while continuing to build a team to support this rapid expansion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am delighted to have these two new strategic investors,\u201d said Wasabi CEO &amp; Co-Founder, David Friend. \u201cWe have been using Western Digital disk drives since the founding of the company. Their investment in Wasabi reflects the fact that data storage in the cloud is accelerating and that there is a growing interdependence between our companies. As for Aramco, we see the energy sector as a huge potential market for cloud storage and to have the VC Fund of the world\u2019s largest energy company invest in Wasabi couldn\u2019t be timelier. We are also interested in the Middle East as a potential market in general.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wasabi\u2019s low-cost, high-performance cloud storage is enabling companies to cut their data storage costs by 75% or more. Data-intensive industries, such as energy and exploration, are making extensive use of AI to extract value from their data. But the cost of storing large amounts can make some of these AI-based applications difficult to justify. Reducing the cost of cloud data storage by 75% or more changes the equation and facilitates more rapid development of data-rich AI applications. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies like Aramco are sitting on mountains of exploration and operational data. Energy, medical imaging and diagnostics, genomics, surveillance and finance are among many industries that are profiting from the use of AI. The thing to remember, however, is that the value of AI is completely dependent on having a rich source of data. That\u2019s why a company like Wasabi is a natural fit with a company like Aramco,\u201d continued Friend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWasabi changes the economics of data storage,\u201d said Aysar Tayeb, Executive Managing Director of Prosperity7 Ventures. \u201cThere is undisputed massive growth of data generated from almost everything we do, and this will intensify with more 5G, smart cities, IoT, and many other applications. Bringing a solution to the market that offers a significantly lower-cost storage option, at scale, is a timely necessity. We are excited about the value proposition of Wasabi and are pleased to support its vision to store as much of the world\u2019s data as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIDC forecasts that the public cloud IaaS market will grow more than 30% annually in 2021, as enterprises move toward post-pandemic recovery and operation; while also prioritizing strategic goals around digital transformation and IT modernization,\u201d said Andrew Smith, Research Manager, Cloud Infrastructure Services for IDC. \u201cThis growth of the cloud infrastructure market is pervasive across all geographies, including EMEA, where we forecast the market will expand at a 28% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the future, most of the world\u2019s data will live in the cloud,\u201d said Daniel Flynn, President and Treasurer, Western Digital Capital. \u201cWe\u2019ve partnered and invested with Wasabi because its mission \u2013 to store data in the cloud \u2013 aligns with our strategy to partner with cloud customers to provide the foundational technologies underpinning the global data infrastructure. We are excited to help fuel continued growth and global data center build-out as Wasabi revolutionizes the cloud market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wasabi\u2019s storage is 1\/5th the cost and faster than the competition with no fees for egress or API requests. For those currently using a private cloud, the availability of a public cloud through Wasabi extends data resources for greater overall capacity without the hefty price tag.
