Data Archiving Service

The Archiving service is in pilot mode within the IS department and will be provided as a service to our customers soon. 

Data archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer actively used to a separate data storage device for long-term retention. Data archives consist of older data that is still important and necessary for future reference, as well as data that must be retained for regulatory compliance.

Unlike backups, which are copies of data, archived data is moved to lower cost storage and eventually copied off to tape for long term offline storage.

By archiving data we can reduce the utilization of expensive storage systems and avoid taking multiple backups of static or unused data which, in turn, lowers the cost of Data Management infrastructure.



Service Features
  • Reduce storage and backup costs by offloading primary systems.
  • Move old data based on last access time, with retention policies, to cheaper online storage
  • Move data that has not been accessed in many years to offline tape repositories.
