ACTIVE ARCHIVE
Active when you need it.
Preserved from the start.
Active Archive combines performance storage with nearline optical preservation. The performance copy remains while usage and performance requirements justify it; the preserved optical copy exists independently.
ACTIVE ARCHIVE ARCHITECTURE
Performance storage and optical preservation
working together.
Information is written to performance storage for active use and to nearline optical storage for preservation. When the performance copy is no longer required, it can be removed according to policy while the preserved optical copy remains discoverable and retrievable.
OBJECT
PERFORMANCE STORAGE
SSD / HDD
Immediate access while the workload requires it.
NEARLINE PRESERVATION
Optical
An independent preserved copy designed for long-term retention.
STORAGE PLACEMENT CHANGES. PRESERVATION CONTINUES.
Keep information on the
right tier for the job.
Information does not require the same storage characteristics throughout its lifecycle. Savartus separates lifecycle state from storage placement, allowing access tiers to change while the information remains managed, preserved, and available according to policy.

LIFECYCLE ECONOMICS
Stop paying for performance
you no longer need.
High-performance storage has value when information is actively being used. But that does not mean every retained object needs to remain on SSD or HDD indefinitely. Savartus allows storage cost to decline as access requirements change while preservation continues.

NEARLINE OPTICAL
Accessible + Preserved
The hot copy can be removed while the optical object remains online, managed, discoverable, and retrievable. When nearline access is no longer required, information can move to physically isolated optical storage for long-term preservation.

Storage placement is policy-driven and can change in either direction as information requirements change.
A DIFFERENT STORAGE MODEL
Compare the lifecycle.
Not just the storage price.
Public cloud providers offer multiple storage classes that trade access, retrieval time, and cost. Savartus approaches the problem differently by creating the preservation copy when information first arrives.

THE SAVARTUS DIFFERENCE
Preservation does not wait for information to become cold.
The high-performance copy and the preserved optical object are created together. Performance storage can later be removed without requiring preservation to begin again somewhere else.
Storage-class names are shown for architectural comparison. Detailed pricing, retrieval charges, minimum retention periods, and service characteristics vary by provider and region.
ACTIVE ARCHIVE AS A SERVICE
The same architecture.
As a service.
Savartus Active Archive as a Service aligns monthly storage cost with the access characteristics of the information.
While the high-performance SSD or HDD copy remains active, the customer pays for that performance tier together with optical preservation. When the hot copy is no longer required, the information remains in optical storage and the monthly rate can decline accordingly.
