13 Years · Atempo Miria Certified · Petabyte+ Capability

Archives That Outlast Every Generation

Petabyte-to-exabyte archival engineered for media, HPC, research, and government — where data must remain accessible decades from now, regardless of which OEM is still in business. Atempo Miria, Archiware, multi-format, single accountability.

The Basics

What is Petabyte Archival?

Archival is the discipline of preserving non-transactional data — media masters, research datasets, regulatory records, scientific instrumentation output — at scale, for decades, across storage generations. Unlike backup, the cadence is not nightly: it is lifetime. The data has to remain accessible long after the original servers, file systems, and OEM contracts are gone. Done right, you can retrieve a 2008 raw broadcast master in under an hour, today.

"Archival is betting today that you'll need this data twenty years from now."

Benefits

Built for the Long Horizon

Six measurable outcomes every itSimple archival engagement is contractually scoped to deliver — across petabyte-class media libraries, research datasets, scientific instrumentation output, and regulatory archives.

01
Petabyte-to-Exabyte Scale
From a 500 TB broadcast library to multi-exabyte HPC dataset archives. Built for the volumes where every general-purpose backup vendor flinches.
02
Multi-Format Compatibility
LTFS, TAR, S3 object, NDMP, native NAS — and every proprietary format that arrived with a now-defunct OEM. Read everything; preserve everything.
03
Long-Term Preservation
Engineered for 20+ year retention. Format-agnostic indexing. Migration across storage generations is part of the engagement, not a costly afterthought.
04
Multi-Tier Storage
Active disk, cold cloud, deep tape — intelligent tiering by access pattern. The 5% you touch monthly stays warm; the rest sits efficient and immutable.
05
Atempo Miria Expertise
India's lead Atempo Miria practice. T-Series, ISRO, and India's premier research institutions run on archives we designed and now operate.
06
Audit-Ready Compliance
SEBI, RBI, DPDP 2025, ISO 27001, IT Act — chain-of-custody documentation, retention-rule attestation, and audit trails produced as a deliverable.
Service Overview · What We Offer

Archival, Built for the Long Game

Our archival service handles the full lifecycle of unstructured data — ingest, classify, tier, preserve, retrieve. End-to-end Atempo Miria expertise on workloads where data must survive multiple storage generations and remain instantly accessible decades from now.

End-to-End Data Lifecycle
Archival, backup, sync, retrieval — one continuous workflow under one team. From ingest to retention to recall, all without a single vendor handoff in the chain.
Multi-Format Compatibility
LTFS, TAR, proprietary OEM formats, S3-compatible objects, NDMP-aware NAS — read everything, preserve everything. No "we don't support that any more" answer here.
Petabyte-Scale Expertise
Proven capability across billions of files and multi-PB archives. The methodology that delivered T-Series' 1-click recall and ISRO's research-grade retention.
Advanced Restoration Framework
Scientific retrieval drills on real workloads, not synthetic tests. The 2008 master, the 2014 dataset — retrieved on demand, with documented latency, every quarter.
How It Works

From Archive Audit to Drilled Retrieval

Every archival engagement follows the same four-stage method — refined across 13 years, petabyte-class environments, and storage generations. No shortcuts. No assumptions.

01
Archive Audit
Senior engineers catalogue your current archive estate — formats, ages, access patterns, retention policies, recall-time gaps, compliance exposure. Written report in 5 working days.
Week 1
02
Tier Strategy Design
Tier mapping (active / cold / deep), retention policy, retrieval-SLA targets, format-migration roadmap. Approved with you before any object moves between tiers.
Week 2
03
Migration & Ingestion
Format-aware ingestion, parallel transfer, hash-verified preservation. Atempo Miria orchestration. Existing access paths preserved throughout; users never know it moved.
Week 3–6
04
Retrieval Drill
Live recall from cold archive on a real workload inside 30 days — measured against your SLA. Quarterly drills thereafter. Audit-ready proof filed every cycle.
Day 30 +
The Reality of Long-Term Archives

70% of Archival Data Is Untouched.
Most of It Is Also Unrecoverable

Petabytes sit on aging media in untested formats. We rebuild the chain — index, validate, migrate, prove. Your 2008 master, retrievable in under an hour. Contractually.

FAQ

Questions Before Every Archive Engagement

Clear answers to what India's broadcast directors, research CIOs, and government archivists ask before trusting anyone with twenty years of data.

Format-agnostic indexing and a pre-scoped migration roadmap. We treat the archive as a 20+ year asset, not a static deposit. Every 3-4 years, as media generations age out, we migrate to the next tier under the same retention rules — without forcing the customer to re-buy access. Already done this for T-Series across three generations and counting.
LTFS, TAR, native NAS exports, S3-compatible objects, NDMP, and the proprietary formats from now-defunct OEMs (we have toolchains for those too). If it can be read, we can ingest and re-format it into an open, future-proof structure indexed in Atempo Miria.
Defined per tier and contractually committed: active disk < 30s, cold cloud < 5 min, deep tape < 60 min for the first object — bulk recall scales with bandwidth. We document the SLA in a tier matrix at design time and prove it on a real workload every quarter.
Yes. T-Series, India's premier research institutions, and several broadcast and government archives run on Atempo Miria architectures we designed. Multi-petabyte capacity with billions of files is our default — not an edge case.
Archival engagements are scoped to meet ISO 27001, GDPR, DPDP Act 2025, SEBI cybersecurity, and India IT Act. Retention attestation, chain-of-custody documentation, and access-audit trails are delivered as part of the engagement — not as an afterthought.
Senior engineers catalogue your current archive estate, sample retrieval-readiness across media generations, identify format-decay risks, validate compliance posture, and deliver a written report within 5 working days. No obligation — a documented assessment of whether your 2008-2016 archives are still recoverable today.
