What is Microsoft Azure Archive Blob Storage?

At first glance, these are all small numbers, but in large-scale scenarios they add up quickly. Storage activity costs become more noticeable when you are talking about any workloads that involve large numbers of small files. Email is a perfect example of this. Machine-generated data is another.

Before Azure had the Archive tier, Amazon AWS Glacier had been the cold storage cloud destination of choice.

We believe Azure Archive Blob Storage is the better enterprise solution for archiving because of its flexibility and convenience. Granular object-level controlling of tiers enables applications to provide a better user experience with more sophisticated data management controls. Unlike Glacier, Azure Archive Blob Storage does not force you to manage your data in sets, and the retrieval experience is cleaner as a result.

Veritas Alta™ SaaS Protection has tight integration with the Azure Blob Storage Archive tier that has been proven in multiple real-world scenarios. Alta SaaS Protection’s use of the Archive tier has proven to be very cost-effective for long-term data retention and has been shown to be capable of dramatically reducing customers’ cloud storage costs.
