AZURE ARCHIVE SERVICES
On-demand tiered storage in Microsoft Cloud
Flexible, low-cost storage for your on-premises and hosted applications.
Take advantage of Azure to protect your Microsoft Modern Workplace.
Match your storage needs to the best cloud storage options
If you have on-premises infrastructure and are running out of space for general storage or backup, we can help you take full advantage of Microsoft’s Azure tiered storage which gives you a choice between hot, cold, or an archival tier depending on how you access the data.
Storing data in Azure can decrease costs while freeing up resources and time.
- Users see data through the use of offline files that provide a seamless recall when clicked.
- Local caches let you optimise recall performance for frequently accessed items while minimising egress from the cloud.
- Inline deduplication and compression delivers savings between 25-60%, and you pay only for what you use.
