Archive Domain Overview and Specifications

Overview

Egnyte's archive domains are intended to be an affordable cold storage option for clients who have purchased our Retention, Archive, and Deletion (RAD) product.  An archive domain has certain specified restrictions, and these restrictions pertain to the type of storage, number of users, and collaboration capabilities available on the domain.  Such restrictions help bring down the infrastructure and compute costs for the domain, making it viable and cost-effective for customers to utilize more storage on this domain.

An archive domain can be purchased along with RAD and, as such, with the new Business, Enterprise-Lite, and Enterprise Platform plans.
