The Cloud Storage Solution Tailored for Today’s Big Data Needs

We are entering the era of what some of us now call the "Active Archive" (AA).

For a decade, the strategy for Big Data storage was binary and simple: keep the recent, critical data in ‘hot’ (S3 Standard) environments, and bury everything else in a ‘cold’ deep freeze such as the S3 Glacier. It was a strategy built for a world where historical data was merely a compliance checkbox; something you stored, hoping you’d never need to touch it.

But with the rise of generative AI and real-time analytics, the line between Hot and Cold storage is blurring faster. For example, to train models effectively, there’s a need to retrain on historical datasets constantly. To run meaningful analytics, you need to query logs from last year, not just last week. Modern businesses need their data off-site for compliance, but they also need it occasionally online for utility.

The old binary choice of “this or that” is dead. You don't need data you might need shortly in a cold archive that takes hours to thaw, and you certainly don’t want to keep archive data in a hot environment. It’s almost like there needs to be something in the middle of both types of storage, combining the best of both.

We looked at this rising problem and had our brilliant team of engineers and mathematicians develop a solution from scratch.

Orbon Cloud allows you to maintain a "Replica" of your S3 data in a hot or cold environment, instantly accessible but not expensive to access, to create a zero-additional-cost data loop.

Consider this: Since AWS charges you nothing to move data into their cloud (Ingress), and Orbon Cloud charges you nothing to move data out of theirs (Egress), why not create a replica that can be easily moved to your existing workflow when the need arises?

With this setup, you can create a frictionless ecosystem for backup storage and disaster recovery. For example, you can replicate your production data to Orbon Cloud for safekeeping. Then, if you face a disaster recovery event, you can pull all that data back seamlessly into AWS (since our utility is S3 compatible), with the whole transfer cost being $0!

You are effectively using Orbon Cloud as a high-speed staging ground that costs nothing to exit.

The difference lies in the removal of the Cloud tax, like egress fees. Orbon Storage only charges the flat rate for storage (just $20/TB). One fee for everything, no punitive charges, no addons; you pay a standard rate for what you use and nothing else.

Big Data requires flexibility, but most importantly, efficiency. With an S3-compatible Replica like Orbon Storage, you get the best of both worlds.

We have found the solution; it’s up to you to win with it.
