Complex storage tiering often introduces operational fragility, leading to unexpected restore delays and API timeouts that affect 40% of businesses. An “Always-Hot” object storage model eliminates these issues by ensuring all data is immediately accessible. This simplifies operations and guarantees predictable performance for every workload.

This architecture provides strong read/write consistency and low latencies, essential for mixed workloads that include millions of small files alongside large archives. All data is available in milliseconds, a critical factor for disaster recovery scenarios where every second counts. This model avoids the hidden operational costs and restore fees associated with retrieving data from colder, slower tiers.

Here is how an always-hot model benefits different use cases:

• Backup & Disaster Recovery: Enables instant access to any backup file, reducing recovery time objectives (RTOs) by over 50%.

• Archiving: Allows active analysis of archived data without the need for a lengthy and costly restoration process.

• Ransomware Recovery: Speeds up the restoration of clean data, minimizing downtime and its impact on revenue.

• Application Data: Ensures consistent performance for applications that rely on immediate data access, improving user experience for thousands of customers.

Ultimately, this model strengthens recovery and auditability for 100% of stored data. By removing the complexity of tiering, businesses can build more resilient and predictable data management pipelines.
