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.

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.
