Technicalities has integrated Wasabi cloud storage as an add-on to our hosted server environments. It gives businesses a high-performance, fully managed offsite storage solution — without the unpredictable costs that come with hyperscale providers like AWS or Azure.
Cloud storage costs have a way of creeping up. What starts as a straightforward monthly bill from a major provider quietly grows as egress fees, API request charges, and storage tier penalties accumulate — often without anyone noticing until the invoice lands. For businesses using cloud storage for backups, disaster recovery, or offsite data copies, this cost unpredictability is a genuine problem.
Wasabi is a cloud storage platform built specifically to address this. It delivers enterprise-grade object storage at a fraction of the cost of the hyperscalers — with no egress fees, no API request charges, and no complicated storage tiers to manage. Technicalities now offers Wasabi as a fully managed add-on to our hosted server environments, giving our clients a clean, cost-effective way to extend their storage strategy into the cloud.
Wasabi is a dedicated cloud object storage platform — think of it as a highly reliable, always-accessible storage layer that sits alongside your existing infrastructure. It’s not a full cloud platform like AWS or Azure. It does one thing and does it exceptionally well: store data securely, make it immediately accessible whenever you need it, and charge you only for the storage you actually use.
Unlike traditional cloud storage tiers that charge different rates depending on how frequently you access your data, Wasabi operates on a single “hot” storage model. Everything you store is immediately accessible at the same speed, regardless of when it was last touched. There are no retrieval penalties for infrequently accessed data, and no surprise charges for moving data in or out.
“Hot” storage means your data is always immediately available — no waiting for a retrieval process to complete, no tiering delays, no warming-up period. Whether you stored something yesterday or three years ago, it’s accessible at the same speed. This makes Wasabi particularly well suited to backup and disaster recovery scenarios where fast restore times matter.
The major cloud providers offer capable storage products, but their pricing structures are designed around a model that makes costs difficult to predict. Storage itself is only part of the bill — every time data moves in or out, every API call made by your backup software, and every request to list or access files generates a charge. For businesses running regular backups or disaster recovery operations, these ancillary costs can exceed the cost of the storage itself.

| Immediate data retrieval | Always | Depends on tier |
| Ransomware protection (immutability) | Included | Available at extra cost |
We’ve integrated Wasabi directly into our hosted server environments as a managed add-on. This means our clients get the benefits of cloud-based offsite storage without having to set up, configure, or manage a separate cloud platform relationship. Technicalities handles the provisioning, integration, and ongoing management — Wasabi simply appears as an additional, reliable storage destination for your data.
Automated backups from your hosted server environment written directly to Wasabi. Reliable, offsite, and immediately accessible when a restore is needed.
A secure, geographically separate copy of your on-premise or hosted server data — satisfying the offsite requirement of a solid 3-2-1 backup strategy.
In a worst-case scenario, your data is in Wasabi and immediately retrievable. Fast restore times mean less downtime and a faster return to normal operations.
Wasabi supports object lock — making stored data tamper-proof and undeletable for a defined period. This is a critical protection against ransomware attacks that attempt to encrypt or destroy backups.
All data stored in Wasabi is encrypted using AES-256. Data in transit is protected via HTTPS and TLS 1.2 or higher — meeting enterprise security standards without additional configuration.
Wasabi is engineered for 99.999999999% data durability — the same standard as the major hyperscalers — meaning the risk of data loss due to hardware failure is effectively negligible.
Wasabi operates across 16 storage regions worldwide, including locations in the Asia-Pacific region. Your data can be stored in a region that suits your sovereignty and latency requirements.
For most businesses, cloud storage isn’t a strategic priority — it’s infrastructure that needs to work reliably in the background without generating surprise costs or requiring ongoing attention. That’s exactly what Wasabi, managed by Technicalities, delivers. Your backups run, your offsite copy stays current, and your data is there when you need it — without a complex cloud platform relationship to manage or an unpredictable bill to budget for.
For businesses already hosted on Technicalities infrastructure, adding Wasabi is straightforward. There’s no new vendor relationship to manage, no separate console to learn, and no configuration work on your end. We handle the integration, the monitoring, and the management as part of your existing engagement with us.
