The infrastructure paradox
You've invested millions in power, cooling, and connectivity. Your racks sit at 40% utilization. Floor tiles stay empty. Infrastructure providers need cost efficient ways to drive utilization while retaining customers. See how Exaba performs on standard hardware
Every empty floor tile is lost revenue
Floor space, power, and cooling are fixed costs whether occupied or not. Underutilized infrastructure means you're paying for capacity you can't monetize while competitors fill their halls.
AI workloads are consuming your power budget
GPU clusters and compute infrastructure draw increasing power per rack. Storage must deliver more revenue per watt and per floor tile to justify space in power-constrained facilities
Regulated customers need local alternatives
Finance, healthcare, and government workloads require data sovereignty. They'll pay premium margins for local control. You have the infrastructure advantage. You lack the storage platform to monetize it.
Why infrastructure operators win the local storage market
Your existing infrastructure cloud can deliver LocalScale storage at 10x hyperscaler margins. Transform under-utilised capacity into enterprise-grade object storage that your Your infrastructure advantage becomes unbeatable when paired with sovereign storage capability. The market is already moving:
From Hyperscaler to LocalScaler. Why Proximity Matters for Service Providers.
For nearly two decades, the cloud has been defined by one word: hyperscaler.Vast, centralised data platforms promised infinite capacity, automation, and reach. But for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), that promise often came with a hidden tax. rising costs, complexity, opacity, and loss of control. Pricing models that shift without warning. Compliance requirements that can’t be […]
Scaling Backup for 100+ Clients: How MSPs Avoid Storage Bottlenecks
Today is World Backup Day! It is a timely reminder for Managed Service Providers to check in with their backup strategy and check that they’re ready for growth. MSPs are seeing around 23% annual growth in the volume of client data they manage¹. As that data grows, many backup solutions will face real challenges in […]
The 400 Zettabyte Question. Where Will Your Backup Data Live?
We crossed 180 zettabytes of global data in 2025, according to IDC’s Global DataSphere forecast. By 2028, we’ll hit almost 400 zettabytes. That’s not a typo. We’re more than doubling the world’s data footprint in three years.While artificial intelligence dominates every conference keynote and vendor pitch, there’s a less glamorous truth driving this exponential growth: […]
Designed to monetize under-utilised infrastructure
Exaba transforms spare capacity into enterprise storage services. No storage team required. Deploy in hours on hardware you already rack and stack, manage and maintain.
Turn empty floor tiles into revenue centres
Deploy high-density storage nodes that maximize revenue per square metre. Dense configurations mean more billable capacity per floor tile.
Deploy on commodity hardware you already operate
Standard servers, existing networking, no proprietary appliances. Install on underutilized hosts or dedicated high-density storage nodes.
No storage expertise required
Pre-configured deployment. Automated health monitoring. Self-healing erasure coding. Manage hundreds of terabytes without specialized storage training.
From spare capacity to revenue in hours
Runs on standard hardware already in your racks. Utilizes spare capacity dedicated storage nodes. Same-day deployment, no long procurement cycles.
Install on existing servers
Runs on standard hardware already in your racks. Utilizes spare capacity dedicated storage nodes. Same-day deployment, no long procurement cycles.
Automated operations, no storage specialists needed
Self-configuring erasure coding, automated rebalancing, built-in health monitoring. System manages data placement, durability, and performance without manual intervention.
Multi-tenant billing built-in
Per-tenant usage tracking, automated invoicing, customer-facing dashboards. Your billing system receives clean consumption data. No manual metering or reconciliation.
Scale by adding standard nodes
Expand capacity by racking standard servers. Platform automatically rebalances load and maintains performance. Linear scaling from terabytes to petabytes without architectural changes.
Let your facility becomes the product
Physical infrastructure control is your competitive moat. Exaba makes it monetizable. Sovereign storage starts here. Win enterprise backup, disaster recovery, and archive workloads where data sovereignty isn't negotiable and customers pay premium margins for physical facility control.
Customer data never leaves your facility
Verifiable data residency/sovereignty for regulated workloads. Finance and healthcare compliance officers can audit physical storage location.
You control access, encryption, and policies
Customer-specific security policies enforced at your facility. No cloud provider terms overriding customer requirements. Your infrastructure, your rules, customer control.
Physical audit trails for compliance
Facility access logs, hardware chain-of-custody, geographic verification. Meet regulatory requirements hyperscalers can’t satisfy with software-only controls.
Usage-based pricing you control
Charge customers per TB consumed. No Exaba licensing fees per tenant, API calls, or egress. Your pricing flexibility, your margin structure.
Transparent cost model
Exaba costs scale with total capacity deployed, not customer count. Add tenants without additional licensing. Economics improve as utilization increases.
Fixed infrastructure, variable revenue
Power and floor space costs stay constant. Storage revenue scales with utilization. Turn 40% rack utilization into 80%+ while maximizing revenue per floor tile.
"Our customers are demanding more control, more transparency and more predictable costs than ever before. Exaba gives us a storage solution that integrates seamlessly into our existing ecosystem".

Common questions from infrastructure operators
Yes. Exaba is built for simplicity. Deployment is guided, automated, and requires no deep storage expertise. Most partners stand up their first cluster in under an hour, with intuitive dashboards handling configuration, monitoring, replication, and scaling.
Exaba turns idle hardware into margin. You can repurpose existing or underused servers as high-value object storage, generating recurring revenue without new capital spend. MSPs typically see a rapid ROI uplift by converting stranded capacity into billable storage.
Yes. Exaba is optimised for standard hardware and supports mixed configurations. You can use different vendors, generations, or drive types within the same cluster, allowing you to extend the life of existing gear. There are some requirements that you will need to assess however. We can work with you to ensure an optimised hardware stack.
Exaba can be fully branded as your own service or branded for your individual customers. Logos, colours and content can be tailored across dashboards and billing. You still maintain full ownership of the customer experience and revenue while Exaba powers the storage layer in the background.
Most MSPs are shifting backup workloads first, especially Veeam, Commvault, and file archive data because hyperscaler egress and API fees erode margins. Cold data, long-term retention, media archives, CCTV, and general unstructured data are next. Anywhere cost, sovereignty, or predictability matters.
Very little. Exaba automates healing, balancing, scaling, and updates. There are no complex storage tiers, no tuning exercises, and no manual failover processes. Most day-to-day operations are handled directly from a clean dashboard, keeping overhead low and freeing your team to focus on higher-value work.
