Monument, the leader in digital photo management, chose a lean infrastructure stack to run its AI software on Vultr, coupled with Backblaze B2 for its encrypted storage. By doing so, Can Stock Photo processes videos four times faster while cutting its infrastructure costs by over 50%. The company moved its image processing application from AWS EC2 instances to Vultr and migrated more than 600 terabytes of data from Amazon S3 and Glacier into Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, with all image and video files now in hot storage, including archived files. When Can Stock Photo, managing over 70 million images and videos to customers worldwide, needed to scale services and infrastructure to provide seamless end-user experience to creators and agencies worldwide, they opted for the joint Vultr and Backblaze offering.

Vultr and Backblaze have enabled a growing number of customers to achieve workload acceleration at a fraction of the cost provided by the Big Tech clouds. “Together, Backblaze and Vultr offer everything developers expect in their cloud stack while freeing them from complex cloud infrastructure and unpredictable costs.” “Developers need more affordable and better alternatives to the Big Tech cloud providers to scale their applications,” said Gleb Budman, CEO and Chairperson of the Board at Backblaze. These joint solutions are now available across multiple regions worldwide, with local accessibility for developer teams in over 30 Vultr cloud data center locations across six continents. Users can deploy highly customizable and scalable cloud infrastructure, thanks to both partners’ tech stack approach, which is compliant with stringent MACH Alliance standards, and built on API-first, composable infrastructure. Vultr and Backblaze also enable developers to get started and connect go-to software and hardware in minutes. Customers benefit from local access to high-performance offerings from Vultr, including Cloud GPUs (based on the NVIDIA HGX H100, A100, A40, and A16), Cloud Compute, Optimized Cloud Compute, and Bare Metal, with tight integration with Backblaze B2. Building on the partnership initiated in 2021, Vultr and Backblaze are providing a developer-friendly alternative to the complex solutions provided by the Big Tech clouds.
