As a managed service provider (MSP), you’re always on the lookout for innovative ways to add value for clients. To stay competitive, you must not only continually raise the bar on meeting client expectations but must do so while boosting revenue and reducing costs.  

That’s why many of today’s MSPs are adding new cloud-based storage services to their offerings. Cloud storage services enable you to create new revenue streams and meet customers’ growing digital needs through a repeatable earnings model with attractive gross profit margins.   

Five ways to gain an edge with Wasabi 

With affordable cloud storage and powerful management tools from Wasabi, you can more effectively and efficiently manage your clients’ data and out-deliver the competition without adding cost or effort. Here are five ways Wasabi can help you build profits right from the start.  

1) Low pricing 

The less you pay for cloud storage, the less your customers pay—and that allows them to store more data at lower cost. Wasabi costs just $6.99 per TB/month, nearly 80% less expensive than hyperscaler alternatives. With the low cost of goods sold (COGS) that allows for a healthy margin, you can better attract new customers and build long-lasting relationships with existing ones. In a recent IDC report, Wasabi customers saw a 45% reduction in annual storage costs and $144,000 in annual storage cost savings. 

2) Price predictability 

Some per-TB prices might look low at first, but costs can add up through egress costs, API requests, operation charges, network transfer fees, and data retrieval. Wasabi has no hidden fees and doesn’t charge for egress, API requests, or data retrieval. It’s simple to predict your monthly bill and avoid surprises, an asset your customers (and your margins) will love.  

3) One storage platform for many use cases 

Enough complicated tiering. Our single storage tier makes cloud storage simple. It allows you to deliver multiple services with ease, and our partner portal is filled with marketing resources to help you effectively sell those services to customers from day one.  

We make it easy to add value with cloud storage services that seamlessly integrate into existing solutions.  

Due to our combination of low price and high performance, our single tier of cloud object storage is ideal for a number of use cases that would otherwise require multiple cloud storage services to accomplish.  

• Archive storage –Though comparably priced with traditional cold-storage services, data in Wasabi can be retrieved instantly at no additional cost.  

• Backup services – With our low cost per TB and S3 compatibility, providing quality offsite backup services is simpler than ever.  

• File sharing services – Our high-performance storage can serve as a hub to enable your customers to work securely on the go, sharing data and collaborating with colleagues from a centralized cloud.  

4) Powerful cloud security and reliability 

Your customers rely on you to protect their data and applications—and we give you tools to bolster security and reliability even further. From immutable buckets that don’t allow data to be changed or deleted (even by admins), to multi-user authentication protocols, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage puts the most advanced data protection tools in your hands.  

5) Simple, intuitive management tools 

Wasabi eases the management burden with complete visibility and control over your entire cloud storage ecosystem with features purpose-built for MSPs. Wasabi Account Control Manager is designed for scale and simplifies billing and operations management and integrates smoothly with your preferred organizational business model.
