What is the break-up of the four storage classes available to me? 

Vaultastic offers four distinct storage classes—Active, Open, Deep and Live Store—each designed to meet specific needs for accessibility, cost, and data retrieval frequency:

  1. Active Store: The Active Store is optimized for frequently accessed data, providing rapid indexing and retrieval for compliance, audits, or ongoing business needs. It is ideal for recent emails and chat conversations that may require quick e-discovery and extraction, ensuring that users can retrieve information seamlessly.
  2. Open Store: The Open Store is designed for infrequently accessed data that still needs to be retained for legal or compliance reasons. It offers cost-effective storage with on-demand access, allowing businesses to maintain historical data for regulatory or reference purposes without occupying high-cost, high-speed storage. This class is perfect for data that is valuable but rarely accessed, such as records from previous years.
  3. Deep Store: The Deep Store is a specialized storage tier designed for cost-effective, secure, and long-term retention of archived data. It is ideal for preserving historical, infrequently accessed data such as emails, chats, files, and SaaS application records that must be stored for compliance or regulatory reasons. Unlike active storage tiers, the Deep Store prioritizes durability and security over frequent access, making it a reliable solution for organizations that need to meet long-term data retention requirements without incurring high costs.
  4. Live Store: The Live Store supports SaaS data archiving, collaboration, and sharing needs, enabling organizations to archive data from active cloud applications and collaborate on that data with experts as needed. It allows organizations to manage live data, including email and files, and securely share specific information with authorized users, ensuring continuity and accessibility in real-time.

Each storage class is crafted to balance accessibility, performance, and cost-effectiveness, giving organizations flexibility to store data according to its relevance, usage frequency, and regulatory requirements. This structured approach helps optimize storage costs while ensuring that data remains accessible and secure as per business needs.
