Tiers

Misconfigured tiers cause failures despite 99.999999999% durability. Learn why S3 Glacier retrieval differs from Standard and how to align tiers.

Backblaze B2 lists standard rates at $6.95 per TB, but AI teams must calculate high-throughput premiums against free egress limits.

Glacier retrieval spans milliseconds to 12 hours. Learn how Deep Archive's $0.00099/GB pricing fits long-term retention strategies.

Cut cloud costs by 70% with S3-compatible storage. Simplify from eight complex tiers to just two while maintaining full API compatibility.

Learn how intelligent tiering delivers 7 GB/s per GPU, moving hot data to NVMe while keeping cold logs on cheaper HDDs to cut costs.

HDD tiers now underpin exabyte-scale AI where flash costs fail. See how a 5-year contract validates this economic model for massive datasets.
