Wasabi

If your archived content is expensive to access, Iconik and Wasabi remove the cost barrier between your team and the footage they need.

Many cloud storage providers charge every time you download files. These egress fees can make it prohibitively expensive to repurpose archived footage, share content with distributed teams, or explore your library for new projects. With Wasabi's zero-egress pricing and Iconik's media workflows, your team can search, preview, download, and reuse archived content without triggering access charges. Files stay in your Wasabi buckets at flat-rate pricing. Iconik adds ai-powered search, web proxies, and collaborative review tools that turn storage into a working asset library.

Core features

What happens when you connect Wasabi

• Automatic asset discovery
  ‍Point Iconik at your Wasabi bucket. It scans for media files and creates searchable assets in Iconik. The originals never move from Wasabi.
• Web-optimized proxies
  Iconik generates smaller proxy files for web playback and review. Your team streams and previews content from anywhere without downloading full-size originals from Wasabi.
• Folder structure preserved
  ‍Iconik mirrors your Wasabi folder structure as collections in the interface. Whatever organizational system your team uses stays the same.
• No egress fees on access
  ‍Download originals, generate proxies, or transfer files between Wasabi buckets without egress charges. This makes archived content economically accessible for repurposing and reuse.
• Multiple bucket support
  ‍Connect as many Wasabi buckets as you need. Different buckets for different teams, clients, or projects; they all show up in one Iconik interface.
• Immutable storage options
  ‍Protect valuable content with Wasabi's object lock and immutability features that help guard against ransomware, accidental deletion, and unauthorized changes.

Who it's for

Media workflows without access cost penalties

Cloud storage economics often force organizations to choose between accessibility and affordability. The Iconik and Wasabi combination removes that trade-off by eliminating download charges while adding the search and collaboration tools that make archived content actually usable.

For IT and infrastructure teams: Predictable costs that scale with storage, not with usage

• Flat-rate pricing with no access penalties: Budget based on storage volume alone. No download charges, API fees, or retrieval costs that fluctuate with team activity or project demands.
• All content stays instantly accessible: Single storage tier means no restoration wait times, and no retrieval fees when teams need archived assets.
• Usage patterns don't affect costs: Heavy preview activity, frequent downloads for repurposing, or global team access won't trigger cost escalations that require IT intervention or budget adjustments.

For media teams and operations: Make archived content a working resource instead of a cost liability

• Repurpose at scale: When downloading archived footage doesn't incur additional costs, editors can explore the library and select assets for new projects without requiring budget approval workflows.
• Collaborate globally without cost concerns: Distributed teams, remote reviewers, and international partners can access content freely.
• Find content by what's in it: Iconik ai detects objects, faces, spoken words, and scenes. Search replaces browsing through folder structures or relying on original naming conventions from years ago.

Case Study

Premier Lacrosse League

The Challenge

The PLL's production team was distributed across the country, but their media infrastructure required on-site access to local servers, creating workflow bottlenecks and putting game footage at risk.

The Outcome

By combining Iconik's collaborative platform with Wasabi's accessible cloud storage, PLL eliminated location-based access restrictions. Editors now work remotely with full access to footage, and the organization maintains secure off-site backups without worrying about access fees as teams download content for production.

‍Key results

• Remote editing teams access footage from any location without on-site server requirements
• Secure cloud backup protects all content with geographic redundancy
• Predictable flat-rate storage costs replace server maintenance and access restrictions
• Production workflows span multiple locations without download fees limiting collaboration
