On Premise to Cloud
If you don't absolutely need to run storage on-premise, migrating to a specialist cloud provider is usually the more cost-effective option — and it doesn't have to happen all at once.
The real cost of keeping storage on-premise
On-premise storage carries costs beyond the hardware itself: maintenance charges for both hardware and software, power, networking and depreciation, on top of the capital outlay (CAPEX) versus the pay-as-you-go operating expense (OPEX) of cloud. Our cloud solution offers 11 nines of data durability and immutable storage functionality — your data is read-only once written, and you decide the policy that ensures it can't be deleted or overwritten until the rules expire.
- The cost of storage
- The life expectancy of your data
- How often the data will be retrieved or modified
- How fast access to the data needs to be
Migrate at your own pace
Choose your strategy — lift & shift, backup & recovery, or archival storage — and match each dataset to the tier it needs: immediate use, disaster recovery, backup, or archival.
Storage tiers for every workload
Immediate use
Primary storage for on-premise or cloud-based workloads.
Disaster recovery
Secondary storage ready to fail over to when it's needed.
Backup
Ongoing protection against loss, corruption or ransomware.
Archival
Long-term retention for big data, analytics and IoT.
