Cloud storage supplier Backblaze reported revenues of $34.6 million in the first 2025 quarter, up 15 percent year-over-year, with a loss of $9.3 million compared to an $11.1 million loss a year ago. B2 cloud storage revenues were $18 million, up 23 percent, while Computer Backup revenues were $16.6 million, up 8 percent year-over-year but down from the prior quarter’s $16.7 million. Analyst Jason Ader said Backblaze closed its largest deal in the quarter, a multi-year, multimillion-dollar contract with an application customer. It’s predicting Q2 revenues of $35.2 million to $35.6 million.
Backblaze said: “A false and misleading short-and-distort report recently raised claims about our financial statements. An independent review confirmed there was no wrongdoing and no issues with our financial statements.

Gartner has produced a Market Guide for Hybrid Cloud Storage. Its recommendations are:
- Take advantage of hybrid cloud storage capabilities by identifying workloads, datatypes and use cases that will benefit from integration with the public cloud.
- Build a business case for hybrid cloud storage beyond just the price per terabyte by valuing the end-to-end hybrid workflow and standardization enabled by the solutions.
- Prioritize hybrid cloud storage solutions that enable cloud-native data access capability to best support applications within the public cloud.
- Choose a hybrid cloud storage provider by its ability to deliver additional services, such as metadata insights, cyberstorage, global access, life cycle management, multi-cloud support, performance acceleration, and data analytics and mobility.
- Build a comprehensive hybrid cloud data services catalog to define and maintain global hybrid cloud storage services and to ensure standardization and end-user transparency.

3D DRAM developer NEO Semiconductor has produced industry-first 1T1C and 3T0C-based 3D X-DRAM cells whose designs combine the performance of DRAM with the manufacturability of NAND and density up to 512 Gb – a 10x improvement over conventional DRAM. They use IGZO channel technology and manufacturing will use a modified 3D NAND process, with minimal changes, enabling full scalability and rapid integration into existing DRAM manufacturing lines. 1T1C and 3T0C cell simulations demonstrate retention times of up to 450 seconds, dramatically reducing refresh power. TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) simulations confirm fast 10-nanosecond read/write speeds and over 450-second retention time. NEO says it employs unique array architectures for hybrid bonding to significantly enhance memory bandwidth while reducing power consumption. Proof-of-concept test chips are expected in 2026.
NEO Semiconductor’s technology platform now includes three 3D X-DRAM variants:
- 1T1C (one transistor, one capacitor) – The core design for high-density DRAM, fully compatible with mainstream DRAM and HBM roadmaps.
- 3T0C (three transistor, zero capacitor) – Optimized for current-sensing operations, ideal for AI and in-memory computing.
- 1T0C (one transistor, zero capacitor) – A floating-body cell structure suitable for high-density DRAM, in-memory computing, hybrid memory and logic architectures.
