Distributed Object Storage for Hybrid Data Environments
NetApp StorageGRID is a distributed object storage platform designed to help organizations manage large volumes of unstructured data with resilience, scalability, and policy-driven automation. Built for hybrid cloud and on-prem environments, StorageGRID enables data durability, efficient metadata indexing, and intelligent data placement across geographies and storage tiers.
As data footprints grow and long-term retention requirements become increasingly stringent, organizations need a cost-efficient archive tier that complements primary object storage. Through its partnership with Geyser Data, StorageGRID extends its capabilities by using the Geyser Cold Data Cloud as a scalable target for backup and long-term archiving.
Customer Value
Together, NetApp StorageGRID and Geyser Data help organizations simplify data lifecycle management, lower storage costs, and ensure confidence in long-term data protection. Customers benefit from StorageGRID’s scalable object storage foundation paired with Geyser Data’s cost-efficient cold archive tier, resulting in a solution that supports performance, compliance, and long-term preservation without added complexity.
Working with Geyser
StorageGRID integrates with Geyser Data by leveraging Geyser’s Cold Data Cloud as a target for archiving and long-term retention. Using standard S3-compatible interfaces, StorageGRID users can tier older data and backup copies into Geyser’s cold archive tier, enabling a practical multi-tier storage strategy that moves infrequently accessed data off high-cost primary storage.
By combining StorageGRID’s intelligent policy-driven workflows with Geyser’s predictable cold storage pricing, customers can achieve efficient data lifecycle management while avoiding the unpredictable fees sometimes associated with public cloud archive services. This integration supports seamless data movement and ensures that long-term retention aligns with governance, compliance, and cost goals.
