What is Tape-as-a-Service?
Tape-as-a-Service (TaaS) is the smarter, more affordable way to store your cold data without the headaches of managing hardware or paying unpredictable cloud fees. Unlike Amazon Glacier, which locks you into costly retrieval and egress charges, Geyser Data delivers ultra-low-cost, long-term storage with zero egress fees and seamless S3 compatibility. Your data is securely stored on enterprise-grade tape—trusted by the world's largest organizations for decades—while giving you the flexibility of cloud storage. Whether you’re archiving backups, video footage, research data, or compliance records, Tape-as-a-Service lets you store more and spend less—without compromise.
The Best of Both Worlds
Amazon Glacier offers cloud convenience but comes with hidden costs and slow retrieval times, while on-prem tape provides low-cost storage but demands upfront investment and ongoing management. Geyser Data’s Tape-as-a-Service delivers the best of both worlds—offering cloud-like accessibility with no egress fees and the cost efficiency of tape without the hassle of ownership. You get fast, predictable access to your data at a fraction of the cost, making Geyser Data the smarter choice for long-term storage.
