Solving the S3 Archive Challenge
S3 Solv
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.
Why Archive Storage Matters Now
The convergence of data growth, compliance requirements, and cost pressures makes modern archive solutions essential
Data Growth
90% of data is rarely accessed after 90 days, creating massive storage overhead
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.
