Storage Services
This long-term storage is priced as a fee-for-use model, and clients have the ability to purchase only the storage they need, for as long as they need it. While slower than disk-based storage, this tape archive has expansion capabilities into the thousands of terabytes. This system allows clients to store data in a cost-effective manner, and have that data easily accessible days, months, or years in the future.
