Case Study: Kanopy improves video reliability and cuts storage costs with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Kanopy cuts migration time to under 3 days with Backblaze

Kanopy, a video streaming platform serving libraries and their patrons, faced reliability issues and potential cost overruns with their previous all-in-one video processing, storage, and delivery provider. Missing video files were causing service disruptions for their users. They needed a more reliable and cost-effective origin storage solution and safe backups, leading them to seek a new vendor, Backblaze, and its B2 Cloud Storage service.

By migrating to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, Kanopy gained the reliability and redundancy they required. This move also allowed them to build a more flexible, best-of-breed tech stack with their preferred content delivery network. As a result, Backblaze provided Kanopy with triple the redundancy at the same cost, enabled them to scale content onboarding efficiently, and eliminated egress fees, ensuring a seamless customer experience.
