According to IDC's Worldwide Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service Market

Shares, 2020 Report (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3333159-1&h=521627694&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwasabi.com%2Fidcreport-iaas%2F&a=Worldwide+Public+Cloud+Infrastructure+as+a+Service+Market+Shares%2C+2020+Report) (Doc #US47350821e, July 2021), APJ is the fastest growing region in the world

for the adoption of public cloud IaaS, increasing by 38% in 2020. More

countries in this region are adopting the cloud, and customers are particularly

apt to want multiple copies of the data in the cloud. This requires at least

two locations to meet the base performance requirements, in addition to

strategic infrastructure needed to protect data against natural disasters,

ransomware attacks, and other potential risks.

"Japan is one of the world's most forward-looking countries when it comes to

cloud infrastructure, and NTT has been a critical partner for us as we continue

to expand our business in this unique market," said David Friend, CEO and

Co-Founder of Wasabi. "By strengthening our relationship with NTT in Osaka and

fortifying our operations across the country, Wasabi is well positioned to

deliver best-in-class hot cloud storage service to new customers, technology

partners, resellers and Managed Service Providers (MSP's) in Japan."

Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage has redefined the industry with a solution that is

1/5th the cost of Amazon S3, with no fees for egress or API requests and

requires no vendor lock-in. Businesses are able to securely and affordably

store all of their data and access it the moment they need it. It's also an

ideal product for the channel because every organization needs to store data

and Wasabi is simple to understand, bundle with other products and sell.

Wasabi's customer base is growing exponentially worldwide storing data ranging

from backups, disaster and ransomware recovery and archiving to surveillance

video, medical imaging, scientific research, education, genomics, AI/ML data

lakes, blockchain, television, movies and government data. The Osaka location

is Wasabi's seventh storage region, in addition to its existing locations in

Virginia (2 separate locations) Hillsboro, Oregon; Dallas, TX; Amsterdam, NL;

and Tokyo. Wasabi plans to open additional storage regions in multiple

locations in the next 6 - 12 months.
