With S3 Glacier Deep Archive, customers can eliminate the need for on-premises tape libraries, and no longer have to manage hardware refreshes and re-write data to new tapes as technologies evolve. All data stored in S3 Glacier Deep Archive can be retrieved within 12 hours. S3 Glacier Deep Archive joins Amazon S3’s portfolio of storage classes, and complements Amazon S3 Glacier, which is ideal for more active archives where some of the data may need to be retrieved in minutes.
