The next step
for active data in the cloud
Even though S3 is the place to store inactive data in the cloud, AI and analytics applications are actively using more data than ever before – resulting in a complex mess of storage technologies and data transfer for developers.
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.
Scalability & flexibility
Give your instances bottomless S3 storage
Archil volumes integrate seamlessly with S3, allowing your applications to access massive datasets instantly—without waiting for full downloads. Archil automatically offloads unused data to low-cost S3 storage, you'll never run out of capacity and only pay for the data that's actively being used. Because Archil synchronizes this data in its native format, you can simultaneously work with the same files with the S3 API.
Example use case
Platform teams can easily build serverless data experiences, like Jupyter Notebooks, that allow data scientists to use to S3 datasets without worrying about local capacity or redownloading large training sets after failure. Archil only charges for active data, scaling to zero when not in use.
Simplicity & ease of use
Make your data infrastructure invisible
Archil eliminates the complexity of capacity planning. Our storage scales with your application—no need to pre-define capacity, throughput, or IOPS. With full POSIX compliance, Archil works with existing data-intensive applications (like Spark, PyTorch, and pandas) out of the box, with zero code changes.
Fully
compatible
Archil volumes fully support POSIX semantics, including locking, linking, and renaming—even for datasets in S3.
Pay only for what you use
Archil’s scale-to-zero design means you’re only charged for active data, unlocking true serverless storage.
Simultaneous access
Turn any application stateless
Archil volumes provide fully-consistent storage that can be simultaneously accessed from multiple instances, out of the box. Because Archil eliminates the need to partition large data sets across instances, you can easily build stateless data applications.
Example use case
Archil makes it simple to build data-intensive applications like observability platforms. Archil volumes can rapidly ingest petabytes of data and instantly server it to any server in your cluster, automatically replicating data back to S3.
Move your instance storage to Archil and switch from $0.83 per GiB/month to just $0.09 per GiB.
Most customers will see 90% savings over the course of 6 months.

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.
