Wasabi Technologies has partnered with B2B technology infrastructure provider Retelit to launch a new cloud storage service in Milan.

The collaboration will introduce Wasabi’s first Italian storage region, set to become operational in the third quarter of 2024 at Retelit’s Avalon 3 data centre at its Avalon Campus.

Retelit will integrate Wasabi hot cloud storage into its cloud portfolio. Retelit’s cloud platforms are fully based in Italy and are certified by the Italian Cybersecurity Agency (CAN).

Mark Vella, Vice President of Business Development at Wasabi Technologies, said, “Wasabi is on a mission to store the world’s data. As our business surged in Europe over the last few years, Italy emerged as the next logical expansion location based on demand.

“By leveraging Retelit’s Avalon 3 data centre in Milan, together with Retelit’s robust infrastructure, local expertise, and broad range of Italian enterprise customers, we can deliver unparalleled speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency in data storage to significantly advance Italy’s digital transformation.”

Mimmo Zappi, Retelit CCO, added, “Retelit has a long-standing reputation for delivering cutting-edge technology solutions to businesses across Italy. That’s why we are really proud that Wasabi chose our Avalon 3 data centre in Milan to host its first-ever Italian storage region. At the same time, our partnership with Wasabi strengthens our position as a leader in the technology infrastructure sector and enables us to provide our customers with a superior storage solution that is both cost-effective and high-performing.

“By enhancing our portfolio with Wasabi hot cloud storage, we are equipping businesses in Italy with a game-changing solution that delivers unmatched performance, scalability, and affordability for their organisations.”
