Long-term, low cost data storage
Customers trust Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Archive Storage to securely store any type of data in its native format. This cost-effective solution is highly durable and used for storing and managing encrypted data for long periods of time.
Oracle Archive Storage provides highly reliable, long-term data storage for digital assets, online backup, records compliance, and other data-retention needs. It is actively monitored for data integrity and supports policy and rule-driven behaviors to address data lifecycle management needs.
Storage customers choose which storage tier (Archive or Object) is appropriate for data when a storage bucket is created. Data stored is accessed using the same methods as Oracle Object Storage (API, SDK) and Command Line Interface (CLI) and conveniently occupies the same storage namespace.
For certain classes of data, many industries require data retention for a defined length of time as well as locked retention settings. OCI Archive Storage regulatory compliance customers create a time-bounded retention rule and specify object duration. Object modification and deletion are prevented for the duration specified.
Oracle Cloud Storage supports native Object and Archive Storage APIs, and Amazon S3 Compatibility and Swift APIs. Using the Amazon S3 Compatibility API, customers can continue using their existing Amazon S3 tools (for example, SDK clients), requiring only minimal changes to keep applications working with Object or Archive Storage. If data is written to Object Storage using the Amazon S3 Compatibility API, the data can be read back using the native Object Storage API; the same applies conversely.

Storing terabytes of database backups in Object Storage? Is the data accessed rarely or mostly saved for archive purposes? Now we have the opportunity to use Archive Storage. This is cost-effective, long-term, secure, policy-managed storage.
