Archive Storage for modern workloads
Archive Storage is designed for long-term data retention, backup, and compliance use cases where cost efficiency and durability matter more than real-time performance.
It is ideal for enterprises, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, media companies, and SaaS platforms that need to retain large volumes of data securely over extended periods.
Archive Storage integrates with Core, Prime, GPU, and VPC environments — enabling a complete data lifecycle strategy from high-performance to cold storage.
Optimized for cold data — rarely accessed, must be retained

Compliance & Audit
Regulatory data retention with secure, immutable archives.
Financial Records
Audit logs and historical financial data, retained per policy.
Media Archives
Historical assets, raw footage, and creative archives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Archive Storage used for?
Long-term data retention, backups, compliance data, and infrequently accessed information.
Is it cheaper than Performance Storage?
Yes. Significantly more cost-efficient, but designed for lower access frequency.
How quickly can I retrieve archived data?
Retrieval times depend on the selected retrieval tier (standard or bulk).
Can I automate moving data to Archive Storage?
Yes. Lifecycle policies can automatically transition data from active tiers.
Is data secure?
Yes. Encryption, redundancy, and secure storage practices are included.
Can it be used across all cloud environments?
