Case Study: Black.ai improves AI storage performance and margins with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Black.ai processes 100GB of data daily with Backblaze

Black.ai, an Australian AI/ML company, faced significant challenges with its cloud infrastructure after quickly burning through $250,000 in Azure credits. They needed a more reliable, cost-effective, and scalable object storage solution to support their demanding video processing and AI data analysis workloads. To address this, they partnered with Backblaze and implemented its B2 Cloud Storage service.

By adopting Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, Black.ai gained a specialized, high-performance storage backbone that integrated seamlessly with their compute provider, Vultr. The solution from Backblaze improved their profit margins, provided the scalability needed for growth, and freed up resources to reinvest in their product. This allowed them to process thousands of files simultaneously and achieve 100% automated video analysis for their retail and other clients.
