Azure Archive Storage

Azure Archive Storage is a cloud service designed for long-term data preservation that is infrequently accessed. It provides a cost-effective way for organizations to store large volumes of historical data, backups, or records safely outside of their active systems. The data is stored in a secure, durable environment and can be retrieved when needed, although retrieval may take some time due to its archived state. This makes Azure Archive Storage ideal for data that must be kept over time but doesn't require regular access, helping to reduce storage costs while ensuring data remains available when necessary.
