The next step
for active data in the cloud
We designed Archil to simplify this problem for teams. Archil’s infinite, shareable volumes connect directly to data sets in S3, and provide up to 30x accelerated access speeds. With Archil’s intelligent data management, you only pay for the data that you’re actively using – resulting in savings of up to 90% over using EBS directly.

FAQs
When should I choose to use Archil volumes?
Archil volumes are designed for applications with large, active data sets, eliminating engineering challenges associated with data sharing and transfer. We recommend using Archil to store active data for all new cloud applications.
What happens to my data if I stop using Archil volumes?
By default, the data that’s stored in Archil volumes is automatically synchronized with an S3 bucket that you select. If you decide to stop using Archil, your data remains accessible to you -- in it’s native format -- in your S3 bucket. There is no vendor lock-in.
How do Archil volumes compare to EBS volumes?
Unlike EBS volumes, Archil volumes are designed for shared, growing data sets. They support out-of-the-box integration with S3, and simultaneous access from multiple instances. They grow with your data, and you only pay for the data that you're actively using.
How do Archil volumes compare to shared file systems such as Amazon EFS or JuiceFS?
Archil volumes deliver high performance comparable to local file systems on block storage like Amazon EBS. In contrast, shared file systems like EFS or JuiceFS introduce network and sync overhead, making them unsuitable for applications handling many files.
Is Archil compatible with my existing applications?
Yes. Because Archil is POSIX compliant, it’s fully compatible with all existing software that runs on local file systems. Archil’s durable storage layer supports all POSIX operations efficiently (including renames, linking, and locking), even on data sets that are stored in S3 buckets.
Is Archil secure?
Yes, all data in Archil is encrypted in-transit (using TLS between your instance and the Archil volume) and on-disk. You must explicitly authorize Archil to synchronize data from your S3 bucket using your S3 bucket resource policy, and you can revoke this access at any time. Archil volumes are also SOC Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant.
How much data can I put in an Archil volume?
Archil volumes provide near-infinite capacity, and are designed to support petabytes of data.
