Forty-two percent of European organisations reported losing access to cloud data following a cyberattack in the past year — a figure Wasabi Technologies is using to sharpen its EMEA pitch around ransomware resilience and managed-service-provider tooling.
The company reported accelerated channel momentum across EMEA in Q1 2026, adding a new alliance with Commvault and an enhanced integration with Synology alongside the launch of a free multi-tenant management tool for MSPs.
The Commvault partnership focuses on data protection combined with cost-effective cloud storage. The Synology integration connects on-premises backup infrastructure to Wasabi's cloud tier. Both are positioned to simplify deployment for resellers and managed service providers, with a particular emphasis on ransomware recovery scenarios.
Central to Wasabi's resilience story is Covert Copy, a patent-pending capability that creates an invisible, immutable secondary copy of critical data that remains inaccessible even during an active attack. The company presents this as a backstop for MSPs deploying immutable storage alongside Commvault or Synology-based workflows.
The newly launched Wasabi Account Control Manager Self-Activation provides MSPs with free, multi-tenant management and one-click onboarding — removing the sales-process step that previously required direct engagement to bring new tenants onto the platform. That friction point had been a differentiator for competitors with more self-serve channel models.
Kevin Dunn, VP and General Manager EMEA at Wasabi Technologies, said: "Cyber resilience has moved from an IT priority to a business imperative, and our partners are leading this change of mindset across EMEA. With innovation like Covert Copy, deeper ecosystem integrations with long-term partners like Commvault and Synology, and flexible consumption models, we're enabling partners to deliver secure, high-performance storage solutions that protect critical data while giving customers the cost control and simplicity they need to scale."
Roland Leick, Co-CEO of cloudgermany.de GmbH and RÖDL IT Operation GmbH, said: "Wasabi's Covert Copy function is more than a last line of defense for our infrastructure. We have been working with Wasabi for several years already to protect our data and copying vital customer information into their cloud. With the enablement of Covert Copy, we can now 100% trust the security of the stored data and we can also re-store them at any given point. This solution fulfills our requirements of CIA: Confidence, Integrity and Availability. This value is also provided to all of our customers."
Neil Brosnan, Vendor Alliance Director at Exclusive Networks UK, said: "Our partnership with Wasabi is built on a shared belief that cyber resilience starts with data — how it's stored, protected and governed. As organisations adopt AI and modern applications, the volume and value of data is exploding, bringing new regulatory pressures and a broader attack surface. The ability to manage, secure and recover that data has now become business critical. Together, we're helping partners unlock that opportunity by combining high-performance cloud storage with go-to-market expertise and support to drive real growth across the UK."
Wasabi's zero-egress-fee model and per-terabyte pricing underpin the channel proposition. The company operates across 100 countries and positions predictable pricing alongside high-performance architecture as its two core competitive levers in EMEA partner deals.
