Cold Storage & Archival

Cold and archival storage is designed for infrequently accessed data where retrieval speed matters less than cost per gigabyte. Compliance-driven retention requirements — tax records, medical archives, legal hold — make this category relevant across European industries. Providers differ in minimum storage duration, retrieval latency tiers, and whether they charge egress fees on restore.
