Geyser Data Announces General Availability of Tape-as-a-Service, Delivering Enterprise-Class Security, Reliability, and Sustainability in a Scalable Subscription Model

Geyser Data announces the general availability of its Tape-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering following successful beta trials. Designed for businesses requiring large-scale data storage for compliance, disaster recovery, long-term data preservation, and AI-driven workloads, the service provides a cost-effective, enterprise-class cloud archive solution that eliminates the need for expensive hardware or specialized skills. With scalable, secure, and energy-efficient tape storage delivered through a subscription-based model, companies can easily archive, back up, and manage massive amounts of data without being hit with excessive egress and data retrieval fees from traditional cloud providers.

Jointly developed by Geyser Data and Spectra Logic, the TaaS solution seamlessly integrates Spectra's object-based disk and tape technology with Geyser's Cloud Tape Library software. This collaboration combines the reliability and sustainability of Spectra's proven platforms with Geyser's easy-to-consume, cloud-based approach, offering businesses a powerful, scalable data archiving solution with the simplicity of S3 APIs. First introduced in a joint announcement, the service allows companies to store and manage large volumes of data effortlessly without investing in or maintaining complex on-premises infrastructure.

"After extensive trials and invaluable feedback from our beta customers, we're thrilled to have active clients using our cloud archive solution and are rapidly expanding our customer base," said Nelson Nahum, CEO of Geyser Data. "New workloads like AI require cold data to be warmer. One of our customers' biggest challenges today is the unpredictable and skyrocketing costs tied to data retrieval and egress fees in other cloud environments. Our service provides a simple and transparent pricing model that eliminates these burdens while giving businesses the storage capacity they need without investing in new hardware."
