An active archive enables data owners to build cost-effective, intelligent, online archival storage systems that combine disk, flash, optical and tape in the data center and in the cloud. Using technologies such as metadata and global namespaces, the data management layer of an active archive keeps data readily accessible, searchable and retrievable on whatever storage platform or media it may reside in.

“With the ever-increasing demand for AI, data is more important than ever,” said David Boland, VP, cloud strategy, Wasabi Technologies. “Organizations that fail to effectively store and manage their data risk falling behind. That’s why Wasabi provides fast, secure, and cost-effective active archiving solutions for industries like M&E, healthcare, sports, and higher education, empowering organizations to fully leverage their data for AI-driven success. We look forward to working with the Active Archive Alliance members to provide organizations with access to their data anytime they need it.“
