Archive / cold.
Low-cost archival tiers for compliance and long-term retention, with fast restore when you need it.
Deep, low-cost storage for data you rarely touch but can't delete. Retain logs, records and model lineage for years at a fraction of hot-storage cost, with predictable restore times.

Three steps to running.
Lifecycle rules move aging objects from hot tiers to deep archive on policy.
Write-once retention and legal hold satisfy audit and compliance.
Choose bulk or expedited retrieval to trade cost against speed.
Archive / cold, in full.
Purpose-built for long-term retention at archival pricing.
Choose bulk or expedited retrieval to trade cost against speed.
Write-once, immutable retention and legal hold for audits.
Auto-archive aging objects from hot tiers on a policy.
Provision it in a few lines.
Every service is reachable from the same SDK, CLI and infrastructure-as-code — one identity, one bill, one audit trail across the whole catalog.
import { aether } from "@aether/sdk";
const store = aether.storage.archive_cold("training-data");
await store.put("run-42/weights.safetensors", file);
const url = await store.presign("run-42/weights.safetensors", { ttl: "1h" });At a glance.

On one model, not stitched together.
The usual stack runs archive / cold in one product, the model in another and the data in a third — and the seams between them are the cost. Aether Cloud runs it on the same platform that serves the model, governs your identity and deploys into your boundary, with the rest of the catalog one hop away.
No stitching a vector DB to one place, a warehouse to another and a model to a third — archive / cold sits next to the rest of the catalog, one identity, one bill.
The provider that runs Aether runs your archive / cold — so the data and the model never leave the same governed boundary to talk to each other.
Need a capability that isn’t here yet? The model writes and deploys it into the same boundary — the catalog is a starting point, not a ceiling.
Good to know.
Deep archival tiers at comparable cost — with the same governance and audit trail as the rest of the platform.
Choose the retrieval tier: bulk for cheapest, expedited when you need it fast.
Yes — write-once retention and legal hold for regulatory archives.
Your boundary, your choice.
Pairs well with.
Exabyte-scale, eleven-nines-durable object store with lifecycle tiering and presigned access.
High-IOPS network block storage that attaches to any instance, with snapshots and encryption.
Managed shared file systems — POSIX and high-throughput parallel options for training data.
A governed lakehouse over object storage — open table formats, cataloged and query-ready.
