The Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes are purpose-built for data archiving, providing a low cost archive storage in the cloud. According to AWS, S3 Glacier storage classes provide virtually unlimited scalability and are designed for 99.999999999% (11 nines) of data durability, and they provide fast access to archive data and low cost.

Wasabi Technologies headquartered in Boston offers "hot cloud storage," object storage available pay-as-you-go as well as reserved capacity storage which they describe as tier free, and easily manageable. Additionally, Wasabi offers a Cloud NAS option, designed to be "hands free" and require minimal effort from administrators while having no impact on users and applications.

WinZip is a utility for file management, compression, encryption, and backup. With banking-level security, it keeps files safe while optimizing storage space both locally and in the cloud. It also offers robust sharing options, automated backups, and PDF and image management capabilities to fuel workflows beyond compression.

Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.

Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.

Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.

Archiving Software

Recently we had an incident where we had security breach and data was deleted by the intruders. So our client wanted to have a backup solution where they can backup all their files as they're in banking/financing sector and those data is very crucial to them. For this I suggested them S3 Glacier as most of our deployment is AWS centric only. So we decided to got with S3 Glacier and we are backing up S3 into Glacier. With this the cost is also reduced to save objects.

We can setup the triggers and lifecycle process of objects to archive or backup to Glacier from S3 buckets.
Easy to integrate with other AWS services and access with keys
Till now we have only tested the backup restoring process with less data but it is fast and easy
Cost efficient when we compare with other vendors

Sometime due to slow drives there are operation failure noticed by us in testing
Cost of restoring data is high and if you have regular restoring them it is not good option and slow as well.
While we were setting up the system we took some support from AWS and in many cases their answers were not up to the mark.

With this now we are storing data for less cost as compare to what we were paying earlier
Increased the data access limits

Amazon Glacier is in use by several of my clients for long-term, "low-touch" storage of archival data. The main use is by media departments to backup large quantities of archival media such as photos, videos, and audio recordings. Amazon Glacier is used because of the extraordinarily low cost of storage compared to other cloud storage services.

Extremely low cost. Most major cloud storage providers don't compete in this field.
Snowball device for data transfer works perfectly for transferring huge amounts of data to Amazon Glacier.
Works in concert with Cloudberry backup for continuous backup once initial backup seeded by Snowball.

Compared to other cloud storage providers, even Amazon's S3 service, interfacing with Amazon Glacier is complex.
While the Snowball device is a boon for transferring data to Amazon Glacier, at the time that I used it, it was a command-line only affair. While the actual commands were simple, the logging and reporting provided by the device made me nervous I hadn't captured all of our data to the device. Once Amazon received it back and transferred from the Snowball to Glacier, it turns out I had transferred everything.
Amazon also accepts external hard drives for seeding Glacier backups. However, we've had several that we felt matched all of their requirements, but the seeding failed without a satisfactory explanation from Amazon.
If you plan to access/restore data from Amazon Glacier regularly, the cost and complexity become a problem. Truthfully, if you're looking for cloud STORAGE and not cloud ARCHIVE, you should look elsewhere.

Slight negative - another backup cost in addition to their existing BCDR solutions.
Positive - the overall cost is low, and for nonprofit customers, AWS offers an annual credit through TechSoup that can offset a lot of the cost.
Positive - staff no longer needs to shuttle large, heavy external storage devices offsite as an offsite backup.

My organization is required to retain application audit logs for several years. The engineering team at my organization uses Amazon Glacier to provide a simple, inexpensive and compliant log storage. It is easy to configure the lifecycles for our log buckets in S3 to automatically transition objects to the infrequent-access storage class, and eventually to Glacier.

Glacier is an inexpensive solution to the problem of storing rarely-accessed data for years.
You can configure S3 buckets to transition objects to Glacier with a few clicks.
It is easy to get started with Glacier; there is little learning curve and few concepts to familiarize yourself with.

Accessing data stored in Glacier is slow. That shouldn't be a surprise, but it is undesirable nonetheless.
Retrieving a large amount of data can be expensive; Glacier's intended use is as an archive of rarely-accessed data.
Some users regard Glacier with fear and uncertainty. Slow retrieval time and high retrieval cost are the greatest risks of using Glacier, and they are also the Glacier interaction that most users have the least experience with.

We seldom need to access our data in Glacier; this means that it is a fraction of the cost of S3, including the infrequent-access storage class.
Transitioning data to Glacier is managed by AWS. We don't need our engineers to build or maintain log pipelines.
Configuring lifecycle policies for S3 and Glacier is simple; it takes our engineers very little time, and there is little risk of errant configuration.

We used it for long term storage solutions at a low cost. Generally, it's a backup solution for when we have legacy systems that are getting replaced by a newer application. We will throw all the associated data/files/information on the legacy application onto Glacier to be pulled out if we ever need to revamp it or reference the application for any reason.

Low cost, long term storage is the marketed strength of Glacier and something that it does very well
Great for storing data needed for compliance purposes without breaking the bank
Storing data that you don't need but want to ensure is there if you ever do need it. I feel very safe putting data in Glacier given its (up to) 11 9's redundancy

Having the option to pay to get the data back faster would be much appreciated, but given the price and the disclaimers given before storing this is an understandable inconvenience
Setup can be a bit difficult in certain implementations as it requires a 3rd party client to transfer data into
Support and download costs were higher than expected

Allowed us to meet compliance standards as cheaply as possible.
We can store more legacy data for the same budget now, giving our teams more resources to use in case they need them.

It's being used to archive infrastructure and application logs. These are being being pushed into Glacier by lifecycle policies on S3 Buckets. These objects are very rarely retrieved.

Easy to implement, especially if you're using S3 lifecycle policies.
Helps meet compliance requirements, especially when combined with vault lock policies.
Very low cost.

Pricing for retrieval of large objects is too high.

Helped us meet compliance requirements while minimizing costs.
Simple integration with almost no changes required to our existing S3 management policies.
