GenAI can finally unlock the 90% of enterprise data trapped in unstructured formats—but legacy storage wasn’t built for continuous indexing, vectorization, and RAG workflows. Learn why always-hot, high-throughput storage is becoming a prerequisite for production AI performance, accuracy, and cost efficiency.
Computer Backup vs. Cloud Storage: Which Do You Need?
Backup and cloud storage solve different problems. Learn when to use Backblaze Computer Backup, when B2 Cloud Storage is the better fit, and why many organizations use both to protect endpoints, store growing datasets, and support data throughout its lifecycle.
AI Data Pipeline 101: Ingest & Archive
Most AI projects don’t fail because of the model—they fail because of the data. Learn how to build an AI-ready data pipeline from ingestion onward.
Network Stats for Q2 2026: All Eyes on Neocloud Traffic Variance

Cloud Vendors Make It Easy to Get In. They’re Counting on It Being Hard to Leave.
Cloud storage vendors compete aggressively to sign you up, then make it expensive and complicated to move your data out. Learn why migration friction has become part of the cloud business model, and how Backblaze Universal Data Migration helps remove barriers to exit.
Backblaze Drive Stats for Q1 2026
Read the Q1 2026 Drive Stats Report to see the latest on failure rates of over 340,000 hard drives.
AI Can Now Execute 73% of Expert-Level Cyberattacks. Here’s What IT Leaders Need to Do.
New frontier AI models can now perform expert-level offensive cybersecurity tasks, shrinking the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation while lowering the barrier for attackers. For IT leaders, that means detection alone is no longer enough.
Backblaze Announces Five-Year Multi-Exabyte Data Storage Agreement with CoreWeave
Read more about how the $335M strategic agreement aligns to strong AI demand and establishes Backblaze as a key storage provider.
Backblaze Generative Media Hackathon: Build with B2, Genblaze, and GMI Cloud
Join the Backblaze Generative Media Hackathon to build innovative generative media applications using Backblaze B2, Genblaze, and GMI Cloud for a chance to win cash prizes.
Why AI Projects Stall: Data Silos
Customer records live in the database. Payment activity is safely stored in your payment processor. Call recordings and transcripts live in Zoom, Teams, Webex, or another video conferencing application–or are shared to Gong for customer insights. Telemetry resides in an observability tool like Grafana or DataDog. Your own day-to-day work is in Google Drive or… Continue reading Why AI Projects Stall: Data Silos
Introducing Genblaze: A Python SDK for Generative Media Pipelines
Genblaze is an open-source Python SDK from Backblaze for building generative media pipelines — one API across video, image, and audio providers, with swappable models, durable B2 storage, and SHA-256 provenance manifests on every run.
What Network Data Can and Can’t Tell Us About AI Infrastructure
AI infrastructure is difficult to observe directly. That’s because AI systems are highly distributed. They span storage platforms, GPU clusters, training pipelines, and multiple cloud providers—and those looking to optimize their stacks have to build out a visibility layer that takes all of those things into account. Data is constantly moving between different tools and… Continue reading What Network Data Can and Can’t Tell Us About AI Infrastructure
Your AI Strategy Is Only as Strong as Your Data Foundation
Two-thirds of enterprise leaders see significant potential in integrating AI models with their proprietary data. Yet only 22% feel confident their current IT infrastructure could actually support new AI applications. That gap—between ambition and capability—is where most AI investments stall, budgets balloon, and promising projects quietly get shelved. The problem isn’t the models, the change… Continue reading Your AI Strategy Is Only as Strong as Your Data Foundation
Best-of-Breed vs. Platform Play: Why Modular Infrastructure Is Winning Again
Explore why best-of-breed infrastructure outperforms monolithic platforms in the AI era. Learn how flexibility, cost control, and composability drive enterprise infrastructure strategy.
GPUs Are Only Half the Equation
GPU availability is only half the equation for AI cloud performance. As AI workloads scale, upstream object storage must deliver sustained throughput, predictable data movement, and fast rehydration to keep expensive GPU clusters fully utilized.
Data Annotation Infrastructure: Building a Scalable Pipeline with CVAT and B2 Object Storage
Teams that invest in annotation infrastructure early—combining tools like CVAT with scalable storage like Backblaze B2—build data operations that sustain computer vision models through their entire lifecycle and into the era of world models.
Defense by Design: Building Infrastructure That Assumes Adversaries
Learn how to build resilient infrastructure that stands up to persistent adversaries who probe your environment through traffic abuse and credential attacks.
