Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage vs Rackspace Cloud Files: What are the differences?
Developers describe Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage as "A Cloud Storage service". It is a generic cloud storage. You can use it from any computer, any operating system or any cloud storage purpose. You can manage and store large amounts of media files using this service. On the other hand, Rackspace Cloud Files is detailed as "Store it on Cloud Files, serve it fast on Akamai's CDN". Cloud Files, powered by OpenStack®, provides an easy to use online storage for files and media which can be delivered globally at blazing speeds over Akamai's content delivery network (CDN).
Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage and Rackspace Cloud Files can be primarily classified as "Cloud Storage" tools.
We choose Backblaze B2 because it makes more sense for storing static assets.
We admire Backblaze's customer service & transparency, plus, we trust them to maintain fair business practices - including not raising prices in the future.
Lower storage costs means we can keep more data for longer, and lower bandwidth means cache misses don't cost a ton.
