About |
Geyser Data provides Buckets for Cold Data Archiving. The service helps organizations retain large volumes of cold data securely, affordably, and predictably, without the hidden costs often associated with public cloud archive storage.
Geyser Data Buckets are built on enterprise-grade Spectra Logic tape infrastructure and delivered as a modern cloud archive service. Customers gain the durability, security, and economics of enterprise tape without purchasing, operating, or managing tape libraries.
What is cold data archiving?
Cold data archiving is the long-term storage of information that is not accessed frequently but must remain protected and available. Examples include backup data, compliance records, research datasets, media archives, historical analytics, and data retained for future AI use.
Cold data may not be active every day, but it can still have significant business, regulatory, operational, or research value. Geyser Data helps organizations preserve that value while reducing the cost of long-term retention.
How does Geyser Data make archive costs predictable?
Geyser Data Buckets have no egress fees, no retrieval fees, no access fees, and no surprise API fees.
This pricing model makes archive costs easier to forecast. Organizations can restore, move, audit, analyze, or reuse archived data without triggering unexpected access charges.
Public cloud archive services may appear inexpensive when measured only by monthly storage capacity. Total costs can rise when data must be retrieved, restored, transferred, audited, or reused. Geyser Data provides a more predictable alternative for long-term data retention.
What data can be stored?
Geyser Data Buckets are designed for:
• Backup and recovery retention
• Regulatory and compliance records
• Scientific and research data
• Media, video, and content archives
• Healthcare, financial, and government records
• Historical analytics data
• Data preserved for AI and machine learning
• Information retained for years or decades
Amazon S3 compatibility allows organizations to use familiar applications, tools, and workflows. This helps teams adopt a modern archive service without making major changes to existing operations.
Is tape still a modern storage technology?
Yes. Modern enterprise tape is secure, durable, and energy efficient for long-term data storage.
Geyser Data Buckets use enterprise-grade Spectra Logic tape infrastructure to protect cold data without keeping it on continuously powered disk systems. Geyser Data manages the underlying infrastructure, so customers receive the benefits of tape without the complexity of physical tape management.
How does Geyser Data support resilience?
Geyser Data Buckets provide a secure destination for backup retention, compliance data, research information, media content, and other valuable datasets.
Cloud Sync is available as an optional extension for organizations that want a second independent copy of data stored in supported cloud environments.
Cloud Sync can help organizations:
• Create a second independent copy of cloud data
• Improve ransomware protection
• Protect against accidental or malicious deletion
• Apply delayed delete protection
• Support multi-cloud protection
• Restore data to another bucket, region, or cloud
• Add low-cost recovery protection
Cloud Sync is not a separate archive tier. It extends Geyser Data Buckets with automated protection and additional resilience.
Who should use Geyser Data?
Geyser Data is a strong fit for organizations facing rapid data growth, rising cloud storage costs, long retention requirements, or increased pressure to protect data from ransomware and accidental loss.
It also supports managed service providers, cloud providers, software companies, resellers, and technology partners that want to offer customers a differentiated cold data archive service.
