BOULDER, Colo., March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Active Archive Alliance today announced that Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, has joined the organization. The Active Archive Alliance is a collaboration of industry-leading storage systems and software vendors that collectively support and promote the use of active archives in providing modern solutions for today's data growth challenges.
"We are excited to welcome Wasabi Technologies to our growing community of leading data management and storage vendors," said Kel Pults, DHA, MSN, RN, NI-BC, NREMT, chief clinical officer and vice president of government strategy at MediQuant and co-chairperson of the Active Archive Alliance. "From life sciences data to medical imaging and beyond, healthcare data is growing at an unprecedented rate. Wasabi brings enhanced data security and streamlined access to active archives that support leading-edge data management strategies."
An active archive enables data owners to build cost-effective, intelligent, online archival storage systems that combine disk, flash, optical and tape in the data center and in the cloud. Using technologies such as metadata and global namespaces, the data management layer of an active archive keeps data readily accessible, searchable and retrievable on whatever storage platform or media it may reside in.
"With the ever-increasing demand for AI, data is more important than ever," said David Boland, vice president of cloud strategy at Wasabi Technologies. "Organizations that fail to effectively store and manage their data risk falling behind. That's why Wasabi provides fast, secure, and cost-effective active archiving solutions for industries like media & entertainment, healthcare, sports, and higher education, empowering organizations to fully leverage their data for AI-driven success. We look forward to working with the Active Archive Alliance members to provide organizations with access to their data anytime they need it."
Wasabi empowers individuals and organizations to harness the power of their data through innovative cloud storage solutions. Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage provides predictably priced cloud storage that enables organizations to harness the power of their data and affordably store their archives while keeping them easily accessible. Wasabi's AI solution, Wasabi AiR, offers searchability of data stored in Wasabi with AI-powered metadata auto-tagging, speech-to-text and other accessibility enhancements. This approach enables customers to identify and utilize their data in ways previously unimaginable.
"As industries such as media and entertainment generate and store massive data volumes, solutions for maintaining these archived digital assets and making them easily accessible and cost-effective are essential. Wasabi plays an important role in providing fully integrated solutions with AI enhancements, security and affordability built in – furthering the use of active archives for intelligent data management," said Rich Gadomski, co-chairperson of the Active Archive Alliance and head of tape evangelism at FUJIFILM North America Corp., Data Storage Solutions.
