The Amazon cloud service has some unique features to look out for. If you’re not sure if it’s right for you, that’s fine – this article will act as a guide.

First, let’s make sure you understand Glacier completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--what-is-glacier-storage\">What is Glacier Storage?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glacier Storage is the Amazon-backed cloud storage service used to archive cold data. Cold data, in case you’re unaware, is data that isn’t accessed that often. It’s typically things like business contracts, legal documents or historical records. Glacier is a price per gigabyte solution that maintains enterprises data storage needs completely off-site. It is intended to separate active and inactive data for companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon Glacier is like a box for family heirlooms. If someone is selling their older items, they’ll want to quickly separate heirlooms from items they want to sell. Once they put the heirlooms into a box, the rest of the process moves quickly and smoothly. The heirlooms are the cold data, meaning they don’t really need to be looked at that often. Once they’re stored, they typically stay stored for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-26572\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"590\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195010\u002Fglacier-storage-5.jpg\" alt=\"An animated picture of a cloud next to servers.\" class=\"wp-image-26572\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195010\u002Fglacier-storage-5.jpg 741w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195010\u002Fglacier-storage-5-450x358.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Glacier is a form of cloud storage.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--when-should-i-use-glacier-storage\">When should I use Glacier Storage?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main reasons a company should implement \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Faws.amazon.com\u002Fglacier\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Glacier\u003C\u002Fa>:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. When you require small or large data storage\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially apparent when you have large amounts of hot data and need extra space and speedy access. Glacier is fine for any size data storage needs and is economical even as data increases. Essentially, It keeps your inactive data separated from the active data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. When you require off-premise cloud storage\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don’t have the space to physically store data on-site, Glacier is the right solution for you. Cloud data storage is increasing in popularity and it especially benefits companies with extraordinary data quantities. Glacier removes the clutter of on-site storage devices. Now that you have some reasons to use this incredible tool, let’s make sure you understand when to avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-26574\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"309\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195009\u002Fglacier-storage-6.jpg\" alt=\"An animated picture of a cloud with an arrow in it.\" class=\"wp-image-26574\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195009\u002Fglacier-storage-6.jpg 452w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195009\u002Fglacier-storage-6-450x308.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Know when it’s best to use or avoid using Glacier.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--when-to-avoid-glacier-storage\">When to avoid Glacier Storage\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two reasons enterprises should skip on Amazon Glacier.

If you need to access your stored data often\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glacier wasn’t created for companies who need to store high-usage data. The name ‘glacier’ helps you remember if you should avoid using it or not – glaciers are cold, so they’re not for warm or hot data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. If you need fast access to your stored data\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon Glacier is very slow retrieval (by design).

One important thing to consider is if you are already using the Amazon Web Service (AWS) suite. Since Glacier is a part of this program, it may be beneficial to add it on. Furthermore, it probably will reduce any lag in starting your company on a new tool. Often times implementing a new program or system clutters up a workflow, at least initially. Being that your company already uses the program base from which Glacier comes from, the process will be seamless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the AWS suite powers many storage tools, like \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fdigital-asset-management\u002F\">digital asset management\u003C\u002Fa> (DAM). Keeping your data storage within the AWS suite allows for easy implementation with your current programs. Luckily, Canto DAM is partnered with AWS to ensure strong security.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoy the functionality of the AWS programs and need off-site cold data storage, Glacier might be right for you.\u003C\u002Fp>",3,{"url":37,"url_md":38,"alt":39,"height":40,"width":41},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195012\u002Fglacier-storage.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F05\u002F19195012\u002Fglacier-storage-450x273.jpg","A row of servers with laptops attached.",486,800,[43],{"id":44,"slug":44,"title":45,"path":46},"marketing-technology","Marketing technology","\u002Fpost-category\u002Fmarketing-technology\u002F",[48,55,62],{"featuredImage":49,"postId":50,"slug":51,"title":52,"description":53,"path":54},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2018\u002F12\u002F19194111\u002Fmp4-video-file-450x330.jpg",20284,"mp4-video-file","A detailed guide to the popular MP4 video file","The MP4 video file is a reasonably-sized high quality way to download and stream videos on the web.
