Why Moving Data Archives to AWS Makes Sense for Your Business
Imagine slashing your storage costs while unlocking powerful new insights from your archived data. Sounds like magic? It’s just smart archiving with AWS. When it comes to storing data you don’t need every day but can’t afford to lose, AWS offers a solution that’s both affordable and rock-solid reliable.
Rabata’s customers discover that archiving to AWS isn’t just about stashing data in a digital closet. It’s about future-proofing their business with long-term retention that meets compliance requirements and keeps digital history intact. AWS provides a suite of archive storage options perfect for these goals, ensuring your data stays safe without draining your budget.
But here’s the kicker: by offloading archival management to AWS, your IT teams can stop doing the gloomy 'heavy lifting' of maintaining storage infrastructure. Instead, they get to focus on the fun stuff - building applications that make your business stand out. Rabata helps you turn this powerful combo into an everyday reality, freeing up resources and fueling innovation.
Cloud Storage Use Cases for Every Need
Compliance Archival Made Easy
Industries like finance, healthcare, and government don’t just store data - they guard it like treasure chests. These sectors must keep records safe and accessible for years, sometimes decades, to meet strict legal and business mandates. Rabata’s secure cloud storage tackles this challenge head-on, supporting an extensive list of security standards and certifications such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171. Whether it’s local rules or global regulations, Rabata's solution stands ready to help your data play by every rulebook you need.
Preserving Media Assets with a Twist
What happens when your digital media files go from daily star performers to the quiet veterans hanging out in the archive? Rabata gives them a cozy, ultra-durable home without charging a fortune. Our cloud storage isn’t just a dusty attic - it’s a springboard. Need to spring back those videos or images for distribution? No problem. Integrations with services like AWS Elemental Media Services, AWS Lambda, Elastic Transcoder, and Rekognition mean your media can get a second life with smart processing and fresh insights. So, your archived media can still pack a punch when called upon.
Cutting Costs on Enterprise Backups
Tape libraries and bulky storage appliances belong in a museum, not your backup strategy. With Rabata’s cloud archiving, you can kiss those upfront hardware costs and nagging maintenance fees goodbye. We offer pay-as-you-go pricing and blazing-fast access to your archived data the moment you need it. Whether it's a routine restore or an unexpected data rescue mission, Rabata ensures you’re ready without breaking the bank or sweating about outdated tech.

Amazon S3 Glacier storage options explained
When it comes to storing archive data with different needs, Amazon S3 Glacier offers versatile classes that expertly balance cost and access speed. Imagine you have urgent archives - maybe medical images or breaking news footage - that demand lightning-fast retrieval. For this, the S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval class is a perfect match. It delivers storage at the lowest cost possible while popping your data back in milliseconds. Instant access and minimal spending? Sounds like a win.
Now, picture a scenario where immediate access isn’t the top priority, but you want flexibility and affordable bulk retrieval. That's where the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval steps in. Ideal for backups or disaster recovery, this class allows you to pull large amounts of data without breaking the bank. You get your files in minutes, or if you’re not in a hurry, free bulk retrievals can take their time - anywhere from 5 to 12 hours, perfect for those relaxed archive-hunting days.
For those who want to stash away data for the long haul - like compliance records or precious digital media - S3 Glacier Deep Archive is the ultimate penny-pincher. It's Amazon’s cheapest storage tier with retrieval times up to twelve hours. Not the fastest, but for data you don’t visit often, it’s like putting your archive in a high-security vault where costs stay low and your mind stays easy.

Jottacloud: Unlimited Storage with Handy Media Management
Jottacloud steps into the data archiving arena with a bold promise: unlimited storage for a mere $9.99 a month on its yearly plan. But the real payoff? It’s designed for those who hoard data like it’s a treasure chest. Unlimited devices, file sharing, seamless device syncing - it checks all the classic boxes you’d hope for in a cloud archive.
- Pricing: Unlimited storage for $9.99 per month (annual plan)
- Provider website: jottacloud.com
Let’s talk pros: Jottacloud lets you connect as many devices as you want, making it perfect for people who live on multiple gadgets. Sharing files is a breeze, and syncing means your latest file edits are everywhere instantly. Perfect, right? Well, not quite.
The catch - Jottacloud doesn’t offer zero-knowledge security. In simple terms, they can peek at your files, so if you want full-on privacy, this might feel like leaving your diary on the subway bench.
Compared to competitors like IDrive and SpiderOak One, Jottacloud is playing catch-up. It lacks block-level copying, which means it can’t speed up backup by copying only changed parts of files. Also, it doesn’t support local backups, so your data lives only in the cloud.
But here’s a twist that sets Jottacloud apart: a slick photo and video management tool. This isn’t just cloud storage, it’s a digital scrapbook that organizes your memories by date and place. You can create albums, share them easily, and thanks to its integration with file syncing, your media library is always up to date everywhere.
Unlimited Storage with a Few Fine Prints
The unlimited storage feature sounds like a dream come true for individuals who just keep adding files, no matter how much space is left on their drives. Just remember, once you upload over 5TB, your upload speed takes a gentle nap and slows down. So those massive backups might take their time.
Pricing is another strong point here. For $119.90 a year, you get that unlimited personal plan. If you don’t need endless space, Jottacloud offers home plans with storage ranging from 1TB up to 20TB, priced between $69.90 and $599 annually. Business plans start with a 1TB minimum and scale depending on the number of users.
Jottacloud is also generous with a free plan that gives you 5GB of space to test the waters. Meanwhile, business plans are structured with user counts in mind, making it flexible whether you’re a tiny startup or a buzzing team.
- 1 User - 5GB storage
- 1 User - Unlimited GB (upload speed slows after 5TB)
- 5 Users - 1TB storage
- 5 Users (2 months free) - 5TB storage
- 1 User - 10TB storage
- 1 User - 20TB storage
- 2 Users - 1TB storage
- 10 Users (2 months free) - 1TB storage
- Unlimited Users (2 months free) - 1TB storage
