Calculate Your Storage Costs

Choosing the best medium for your backup or archive can be a challenge. There are a lot of points to consider: amount of data, capacity, speed, and the costs involved to buy or rent the required storage space.

To help you get an idea of all factors that need considering, we have created the Archiware Storage Calculator. Simply download the spreadsheet and fill in your anticipated volume of data. The calculator will provide you with an estimated pricing for tape and cloud storage, as well as upload/download times. The spreadsheet includes tabs for Backup and Archive in three different currencies.

The Hype Cycle by Gartner

The Hype Cycle is a graphical representation developed by the research, consulting and technology company Gartner. It illustrates the maturity, adoption, and social application of emerging technologies through five different phases: Technology Trigger, Peak of Inflated Expectations, Trough of Disillusionment, Slope of Enlightenment, and the Plateau of Productivity.

In this short film, the video creator highlights his own personal journey through three decades of working on cutting-edge VR research for movie productions.
