Data Growth
90% of data is rarely accessed after 90 days, creating massive storage overhead
S3 Solv Object Storage
S3 Solv
Simplify S3 → LTO archiving without changing your workflow
Organizations face exponential data growth requiring cost-effective long-term storage solutions. S3 Solv provides the perfect balance between accessibility and storage economics through native S3 API integration with enterprise tape storage.
Move data from S3-compatible storage to LTO with predictable costs, offline protection, and a straightforward deployment.
The convergence of data growth, compliance requirements, and cost pressures makes modern archive solutions essential
Compliance
Regulatory requirements for long-term retention (HIPAA, SOX, GDPR)
Cost Pressure
Cloud storage costs escalating with data volume
Sustainability
Energy-efficient storage for ESG goals
Ransomware Protection
Air-gapped tape provides immutable backup
Reliability
S3 Solv enables hybrid storage strategies combining the best attributes of On-Prem and Off-Prem storage.
