FAQ: Honeycomb name change

Honeycomb - The new name for all our cloud storage solutions

Why are you changing the name?

As we continue to release new and innovative storage solutions, we have decided to expand the use of the Honeycomb name to refer to all our storage solutions. And yes, this means we have a new storage solution in development....

Why Honeycomb?

Honeycomb stands for efficiency and so do the Honeycomb Cloud Storage solutions – the hexagonal honeycomb is an incredibly efficient structure which utilises the least amount of material to hold the most weight possible.

All Honeycomb storage solutions stand out as being highly reliable, scalable solutions with high redundancy and availability (we have active-active storage clusters in every location)

I thought Honeycomb only referred to Probax’s affordable long-term archival solution. Does this mean the other storage solutions are low cost?

No, Honeycomb now refers to all storage solutions, providing a choice of services at different price levels.

Is Honeycomb Archival Storage (AaaS) or Hyperformance Storage (BaaS) changing in service or in price?

No, both services are not changing, this is a name change only and Honeycomb Hot Storage remains the high performance option.

What is unique about all products under the Honeycomb brand?

Honeycomb provides our customers with a range of secure, scalable and highly available storage options that cater to different requirements and budgets. Honeycomb storage is integrated with our intuitive and intelligent Hive platform – providing customers with unmatched automation, monitoring and reporting capabilities across all storage options.

Whats up with all the bees? 🐝

There are many reasons why we’re inspired by bees. Bees collaborate, communicate and work together efficiently. Every bee has purpose and makes a meaningful contribution. They anticipate risks and adapt well to changing environments.

Their hexagonal honeycomb is an incredibly efficient structure which utilizes the least amount of material to hold the most weight possible. Similar to how important the beehive is for bees, Probax Hive is the hub for all your data protection needs!
