Archon Data Store is a Lakehouse-based archival platform for preserving historical enterprise data without maintaining legacy systems for access. Its write-once, read-many design supports retention-enforced immutability, chain of custody, and immutable audit logs. Teams can manage retention and legal holds, send purge requests through approval workflows, redact data, and track quality and defensible disposition. Hot, warm, and cold storage tiering, codec workflows, tier migration, deduplication, and compression of up to 80% support archive management. Users can search with SQL and metadata, query across applications, and run e-discovery workflows. Analytics and AI-driven insights are available without first restoring archived data to a live system. The platform connects to enterprise systems through APIs and ETL connectors, with retrieval via Trino or Spark, dashboards, SQL, or APIs. Deployment can span cloud archival storage, object storage, on-premises systems, and SaaS environments. Listed platforms are API, self-hosted, and web. Pricing is available on request.
