Big news: Backblaze has signed a $335M, multi-year, multi-exabyte storage agreement with @CoreWeave — the AI cloud serving leading AI model developers, enterprises, and research organizations, including 9 of the top 10 AI model providers. 

They trusted our operational expertise, our decades long track record, and our ability to massively scale object storage. They also ran a rigorous POC. And they chose B2 Cloud Storage.

Ransomware doesn't care how much you've invested in prevention. The question every IT leader should be asking is: If ransomware hit today, how quickly could you recover?

A surprising number of organizations discover gaps only when they test their recovery process:

✓ Backups can be deleted or encrypted
✓ Restore times are longer than expected
✓ Recovery costs are unpredictable
✓ Endpoints aren't adequately protected

The best ransomware strategy isn't just about stopping attacks. It's about ensuring you can recover when prevention fails.

With immutable cloud storage, 3x free egress, and automatic endpoint backup, organizations can protect critical data and restore with confidence.

How often does your team test recovery readiness?

AI "elephant flows" are killing traditional network planning. Legacy infrastructure simply can't handle massive AI training spikes. 🐘💥

CTO & Infrastructure leaders: Where do your hardware scaling timelines stand? Are you pushing to 400G+ faster than planned? Drop your thoughts below! 👇

Most backup solutions just add another thing to monitor. This one doesn't.

Deploy through Jamf, Kandji, or Addigy. Every endpoint gets covered automatically — no end-user involvement, no storage quotas, no overage bills showing up at the end of the month.

IT gets full visibility. Nobody has to babysit it.

AI models are commoditizing. Every few months, a new best-in-class model drops. If your application is hard-coded to a single AI provider, you are building a house of cards.

The real moat is your pipeline orchestration. Here is how we’re solving it with Genblaze. 🔥➡️ https://t.co/1ReJwEmaDO

#AI data flows aren't just heavy—they break traditional #DataCenter networking. #Neocloud architectures fix the bottleneck AND keep GPU costs up to 85% lower.

Cold storage is an #AI cost trap. 💸

When #DataScience teams need legacy data to train models, cold tiers hit you with brutal API charges and delayed retrieval times. Those "cheap" tiers are penalizing innovation.

Escape the trap and keep #FinOps happy 🔥➡️ https://t.co/cuahNWwOdt

Hot take:

Backup software shouldn't be a project.

If your IT team spends hours troubleshooting backups, chasing storage limits, or managing complex policies, something's wrong.

Backup should run quietly in the background while you focus on higher-value work.

An eye-watering GPU budget shouldn't fund idle compute. Under-architected data pipelines are the ultimate AI bottleneck—if storage can't keep pace, premium hardware stalls. Fix the plumbing to protect your ROI.

#AIAI NYC is a wrap! Fantastic day with AI decision makers across GenAI and Agentic AI, plus Chief AI Officers and CISOs attending respective summits all in one place—the heart of New York.

[Backblaze @backblaze]

We're at #AIAI NYC today. Backblaze Director of Applied AI, @iamjdeleon, spoke about Pipelines, Provenance, and Storage for GenAI media at scale for the conference's GenAI track. As GenAI scales, everything from signed manifests, to versioning and generation lineage means that your storage layer needs to scale without constraints.

Gartner predicts 60% of AI projects will be abandoned without AI-ready data. That is an expensive graveyard of wasted development hours.

The platform pitch: one vendor, one console, one contract.

The catch: convenience can become constraint.

As AI and high-performance workloads evolve, modular infrastructure gives teams the flexibility to optimize each layer for cost, performance, and agility.

Best-of-breed is back.
