Estimate how much you could save by archiving your unused data with Igneous

Calculate Your Archive Cost Savings

Input a few data points below and we'll tell you how much you could save by changing your approach to data management. We've given you a starting point with pre-set averages for data growth, primary tier cost, backup costs, and archive retrieval. Simply, customize your data points, click submit and we'll show you your projected five-year unstructured data if you change nothing vs. if you add Archive as-a-Service.

Under current conditions, your starting primary capacity of TBs will grow to TBs after five years. Your total costs of primary storage for this period will be
Under current conditions, we project you will complete full backups over five years, with the first backup requiring TBs of capacity, and the last level-0 backup requiring TBs. Without adding Igneous Archive as-a-Service, your total costs of backup will be
Under current conditions, we project you currently need TBs of secondary capacity. That capacity will grow to TBs over the next five years. Without adding Igneous Archive as-a-Service, your total costs of backup will be
These projections include estimates for power, cooling, data center, and management costs

If you begin archiving unused data, we project you'll only need TBs of primary capacity today. That capacity will grow to only TBs over five years. By adding Igneous Archive as-a-Service, the total costs of your primary storage will be reduced to only
If you begin archiving unused data today, you'll still complete full backups over five years. However, with archive, your next level-0 will likely only require TBs of capacity, and your last level-0 only TBs. By adding Igneous Archive as-a-Service, you will reduce your total costs of backup to only
If you begin archiving unused data today, your secondary capacity could immediately shrink to TBs, and would only grow to TBs over five years. By adding Igneous Archive as-a-Service, you will reduce your total costs of backup to only
After compression, your currently unused data would only require TBs of capacity when archived to , and would only grow to TBs after five years. Including the cost of Igneous Archive-as-a-Service and the cost of storage, over the next five years your total cost of archive will be
These projections include estimates for power, cooling, data center, and management costs

Most Igneous customers have found that at least 50% of their data has not been used in over a year. Your calculated savings estimate is based on archiving 50% of the data on your primary tier - and continuing to archive data as it becomes inactive over the next 5 years. Igneous DataDiscover will find all of the unused data throughout your NAS environment and tell you exactly how much can be archived. Get started with a free trial of DataDiscover today:
