Cold data holds significant value for regulatory compliance, audits, legal necessities, and disaster recovery, even though it's not frequently accessed. Archiving is a strategic approach that enables businesses to manage this data efficiently, balancing cost, scalability, and performance. This presentation will highlight key features of leading cloud-based archival systems like AWS S3/Glacier, Azure Archive Storage, Google Cloud Storage, etc. We’ll delve into asynchronous data access on archives and the role of staging data in this process. Later we will go into intricacies of building an enterprise level archival system and the role of metadata stores on distributed archival storage. Furthermore, we'll confront challenges such as ensuring data integrity and durability, continuous repair services, and managing system boundaries. Join this session for valuable insights into archival strategies, distributed systems, and cloud storage.
Inside the Cloud: A Deep Dive into Cold Data Archiving
- Cold data and archival introduction
- Dive deep into cloud providers archival features
- Managing archival storage using distributed systems
- Scaling archival storage
- Problems/challenges and best practices on distributed archival systems

DNA lacks many key attributes found in other traditional storage media types including locality and addressability.
- Joel ChristnerDell Inc.
Users of DNA as a digital data storage medium must have confidence that they can reliably recover their stored data, and to understand the competing capabilities and claims of codecs, readers, writ
Synthetic DNA-based data storage has been on the rise as a candidate for Data Storage due to its longer shelf life and higher data density.
- Bruno Marinaro VeronaInstitute for Technological Research
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) as a storage medium with high density and long-term preservation properties can satisfy the requirement of archival storage for rapidly increased digital volume.
A new error correction code for DNA data storage is presented.
There are several well-known advantages of using synthetic DNA for cold-data storage, such as higher density, reduced energy consumption, and durability compared with the standard storage mediums u
The long-term retention and backup requirements of many organizations continue to grow as their data estate grows.
The demand for data storage continues to grow exponentially with the overall data storage temperature cooling down with most data becoming cold after one month and subsequently infrequently accesse
