![]() The company formed a partnership with Backblaze in early 2020 and the Flexify.IO software is now the data migration offering for Backblaze customers. Kandaurov said the company runs compatibility checks to add more clouds based upon client needs.įlexify.IO was first prototyped in 2016 by Kandaurov and his two co-founders, Sergey Smirnov and Alexey Schepetkov, with 2018 marking the software's first public release. Since then, however, Flexify.IO has expanded to support 20 different public and private cloud services such as Wasabi, Alibaba Cloud, Backblaze and Dell EMC ECS. ![]() Originally, Flexify.IO only supported the migration of object data from Amazon's S3 to Azure's Blob storage. Sergey Kandaurov, Flexify.IO co-founder and CTO, says the streamlining of APIs through Flexify.IO will allow users to take better advantage of multi-cloud environments to select the best price for storage as well as the access speeds needed for their applications, simultaneously avoiding the potential cost lock-in with the major public clouds. ![]() Users can discontinue Flexify.IO after a migration and access their data from the respective clouds they've migrated to as well. Pricing for these migrations, however, is based upon the particular cloud providers being used as well as other factors such as a cloud provider's egress traffic fees and the chosen data center location. No coding changes are needed for a user's application to swap between the APIs of multiple clouds and there is no need to migrate data off any cloud infrastructure as Flexify.IO migrates directly to the target clouds, according to the company. Instead, it allows applications or data to be stored on multiple clouds and accessed as if it were a single storage source. Flexify.IO does not store or modify customer data.
