April 8, 2025
Tustin, CA – April 9, 2025 Geyser Data, a next-generation Tape-as-a-Service (TaaS) provider, announces its solution integration with Starfish Storage. Through this partnership, Starfish customers can now access Geyser's highly economical, tape-based cloud services—designed specifically for archiving cold data. This solution offers organizations a secure and sustainable method for offloading inactive files from primary storage, while avoiding the high costs and hidden fees often associated with traditional cloud storage providers.
Starfish Storage empowers organizations to manage massive unstructured data environments through a unified metadata catalog, scale-out data mover, and robust policy automation. With this new integration, Geyser offers Starfish Storage customers the ability to automate the archival of seldom-accessed data to a highly durable, energy-efficient tape-based platform. This can be done at a fraction of the traditional costs associated with maintaining a tape library themselves or opting for a cloud object storage provider. Geyser's Tape-as-a-Service platform eliminates egress fees, offers full data sovereignty, and simplifies tape-based archiving by delivering it as a secure, cloud-connected service.
"Our mission has always been to help organizations make sense of their file-based data and act on it efficiently," said Kris Meier, Head of Alliances at Starfish Storage. "Working with Geyser Data adds a key piece to our partner ecosystem— providing our customers with a way to archive cold data securely and extremely cost-effectively with an eye towards sustainability as well.
Nelson Nahum, CEO of Geyser Data, added: "Starfish is a natural fit for Geyser. Their powerful data management engine enables organizations to easily identify and act on cold data. Together, we're removing barriers to tape adoption and enabling smarter data lifecycle strategies for our joint customers."
By combining the intelligent data movement capabilities of Starfish with Geyser’s cloud-connected tape infrastructure, organizations can now implement long-term archival strategies that are not only budget-conscious but also environmentally responsible. Geyser's platform is built for transparency and predictability—no egress charges, no API call fees, and no surprises.
Customers gain peace of mind with full control over where their data resides, and the assurance that their archives are stored on a medium known for decades-long durability and minimal energy consumption. Whether it's compliance, digital preservation, or cost-optimized storage at scale, Geyser Data delivers a modern approach to a time-tested technology.
