Back to All Partners Wasabi INVITE Networks is a Wasabi Technologies cloud storage partner, architecting and managing S3-compatible hot cloud storage for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles Wasabi environment design, data migration, backup target integration, and ongoing storage management — so your organization gets enterprise-grade cloud storage at a fraction of the cost of hyperscaler alternatives. TL;DR: INVITE Networks deploys and manages Wasabi hot cloud storage for organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix that need reliable, S3-compatible object storage for backup targets, archiving, media workflows, and cloud data tiering — without paying AWS S3 egress fees. INVITE architects the storage environment, migrates existing data, and integrates Wasabi with your backup, DR, and cloud platforms. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating a Wasabi partner who can own the architecture and ongoing management of their cloud storage environment. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a Wasabi partner? Wasabi is a hot cloud object storage platform that provides S3-compatible storage at approximately one-fifth the cost of Amazon S3, with no egress fees and no API request charges. This pricing model makes Wasabi particularly attractive for organizations with high data retrieval workloads — backup and restore operations, media and video workflows, and analytics pipelines — where AWS S3 egress costs become a significant line item. Wasabi delivers 11 nines of durability with built-in immutable storage capabilities for ransomware protection and compliance retention. As a Wasabi partner, INVITE Networks handles environment architecture, bucket policy configuration, access control design, lifecycle policy setup, and integration with your existing backup and infrastructure platforms. INVITE connects Wasabi to leading backup and data protection tools — including Veeam, Commvault, and Rubrik — as well as cloud management and DR platforms. Organizations that engage INVITE through managed services receive ongoing storage monitoring, capacity planning, and policy governance as part of a broader cloud services engagement. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Wasabi cloud storage? Organizations that move to Wasabi without a managed services partner often underestimate the configuration complexity required to get full value from the platform — particularly around immutability policies, cross-region replication, and integration with existing backup software. INVITE brings structured deployment methodology and hands-on experience integrating Wasabi into real production environments, ensuring the storage architecture is built correctly from the start rather than requiring costly rework later. Replacing an on-premises tape library with a Wasabi cloud backup target — integrated with the organization’s existing Veeam environment — is INVITE’s most common Wasabi engagement. INVITE designs the bucket architecture with Object Lock enabled for immutable, compliance-ready retention, migrates existing backup data, and configures lifecycle tiering, eliminating tape media management entirely. How does INVITE architect and manage Wasabi as part of its cloud services? INVITE integrates Wasabi into its cloud services delivery model as a cost-optimized storage tier for backup targets, archiving, and unstructured data management. This means INVITE is not simply provisioning a Wasabi account — it is designing the full storage architecture: bucket structure, naming conventions, access control policies, Object Lock configuration for immutability, cross-region replication for resilience, and cost governance policies to prevent runaway storage growth. For organizations running multi-cloud environments, INVITE architects Wasabi deployments that work alongside AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud workloads — providing a cost-effective storage tier for data that does not require the latency guarantees or tight integration of native cloud storage. INVITE also designs storage tiering workflows that automatically move aging data from primary cloud storage to Wasabi based on access patterns and retention policies, delivering significant cost reduction without impacting application performance. Wasabi’s no-egress-fee model makes it especially well-suited for backup and DR workloads where data retrieval costs would otherwise be unpredictable. What Wasabi services does INVITE architect and manage? INVITE architects and manages Wasabi hot cloud storage with full configuration of Object Lock immutability for ransomware protection and compliance retention requirements including HIPAA, SEC Rule 17a-4, and FINRA. INVITE configures bucket replication across Wasabi’s global storage regions to meet geographic redundancy requirements, and designs access control policies using Wasabi’s IAM-compatible permission model to enforce least-privilege access to stored data. On the integration side, INVITE connects Wasabi to your backup platform of choice — Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, and Acronis are all supported — and configures the backup jobs, retention schedules, and restore verification workflows. INVITE also integrates Wasabi with S3-compatible NAS platforms, media asset management systems, and cloud archiving tools for organizations with specific unstructured data workflows. For organizations replacing on-premises tape libraries or decommissioning aging NAS infrastructure, INVITE manages the data migration process — including initial bulk transfer, delta sync, and validation — before cutover to the new Wasabi environment.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wasabi Cloud Storage Is INVITE Networks an authorized Wasabi partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Wasabi Technologies partner and can source Wasabi storage directly. INVITE delivers Wasabi as part of broader managed cloud and data protection engagements, meaning you get a single vendor relationship covering both the storage platform and the ongoing management layer. Can INVITE manage our Wasabi environment if we don’t have cloud storage expertise internally? Yes — this is the primary value INVITE delivers in a Wasabi engagement. Most organizations that adopt Wasabi directly configure a basic bucket structure without fully leveraging Object Lock, lifecycle policies, cross-region replication, or cost governance controls. INVITE brings the architecture expertise to build the environment correctly from the start and the managed services capability to maintain it on an ongoing basis, including capacity monitoring, policy reviews, and integration support as your backup and cloud environments evolve. How does Wasabi compare to Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage for backup workloads? Wasabi’s key differentiator for backup workloads is its no-egress-fee pricing model. With AWS S3 and Azure Blob, organizations pay for every gigabyte retrieved — which makes restore operations and backup verification tests expensive and discourages the testing that is essential for a reliable DR program. Wasabi charges a flat per-terabyte-per-month rate with no egress or API request charges, making the total cost of ownership significantly lower for environments with frequent restore operations. INVITE helps organizations model their actual storage economics based on data volumes, change rates, and restore frequency to determine whether Wasabi delivers meaningful savings for their specific workloads. How long does a Wasabi deployment and backup integration take with INVITE? A standard Wasabi deployment — including environment configuration, backup platform integration, and initial policy setup — typically takes two to three weeks. If the engagement includes a large-scale data migration from on-premises storage or another cloud provider, the migration timeline depends on data volume and available network bandwidth, but INVITE targets 30 to 60 days for migrations in the 50TB to 200TB range. INVITE provides a detailed project plan with defined milestones and clear go/no-go criteria before cutover.
