MojoHost, a leading web host, has announced the launch of MojoIce, its new object storage solution. The solution is designed for active backups, internal content management, and other colder storage needs and offers a more cost-effective and reliable alternative to popular solutions like Wasabi, AWS Glacier and Backblaze.
“While Wasabi and Backblaze imply heat in their names, they are in fact cold storage solutions based on IOPS and throughput limitations with a high cost of egress bandwidth when it exceeds the amount stored and unfavorable data retention policies,” said Brad Mitchell, President of MojoHost. “MojoHost’s core values are integrity and value. MojoIce offers a better alternative with lower pricing, higher performance, no hidden fees, and no contractual requirements.”
MojoIce’s pricing per GB is $0.0055, with free transfer up to the current capacity in use and an overage cost of $0.004 per GB. This makes storage nearly 10% off Wasabi’s retail, data transfer 90% off and a 100% savings with no data retention pricing. Backblaze charges $0.01 per GB transferred, more than twice the price and with no included bandwidth like MojoIce. AWS’ Infrequent and Glacier storage tiers pale in value comparison, making their details not even worth mentioning.
“MojoIce offers more honest and transparent terms compared to Wasabi. For one, MojoIce does not maintain a three-month retention policy. With Wasabi, you pay for any file uploaded for 3 months, even if it is deleted the next day.” – explains Natalie Pannon, Biz Dev at MojoHost. “The #GoodMojo pledge is a 100% satisfaction guarantee.”
MojoIce joins MojoHost’s full suite of cloud storage services, including MojoFire and MojoVault object storage. For more information on MojoCloud products, visit: Mojohost.
