AI teams are paying hot-tier storage prices for data that often sits unused—simply because they can’t afford the risk of losing access when it matters. Beyond the Hot Tier explores why traditional cloud storage tiering and archive strategies break down for modern AI workflows, introducing restore delays, operational overhead, and unpredictable costs that slow iteration and waste GPU resources.
This eBook outlines a usage-aware, AI-native approach to storage that adapts automatically to real access patterns instead of rigid lifecycle rules. With all data remaining instantly accessible at full performance, teams can reduce storage costs by up to 75%, eliminate rehydration delays, and keep AI pipelines moving faster—without manual tagging, tier management, or hidden fees.
