The next step
for data in the cloud

AI and data applications need instant access to massive datasets—but traditional solutions force you to choose between slow, expensive downloads or costly high-speed tiers. Archil eliminates this tradeoff with an infinite, high-performance data layer that caches active data while automatically replicating everything to S3.

With Archil, your applications only load the data they need, when they need it—no full downloads or delays. Our intelligent caching makes access 30x faster than S3, and because Archil volumes are instantly shared across all your instances, your data is always available, everywhere.
Speed & performance

Scale without compromising performance

Archil delivers the scale-out performance required to process massive AI datasets without pre-provisioning. The high-speed data layer behind each Archil volume provides 30x lower latency than accessing S3 directly, and small-file workloads run up to 100x faster than shared file systems like Amazon EFS.
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. Because unused data is automatically offloaded to low-cost S3 storage, you only pay for the data that you’re actively using, and you never run out of capacity. And because Archil synchronizes data in its native format, you can work with the same files through the S3 API.
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.
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.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Archil volumes, learn more by visiting our Documentation.
  • When should I choose to use Archil volumes?

    Archil volumes are the easiest to use cloud volume storage, eliminating engineering challenges associated with data sharing and transfer. We recommend using Archil volumes as the default storage system for 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?

    Because AI applications need to work with large and growing data sets, Archil volumes have a robust set of synchronization features that don’t sacrifice performance. For example, Archil volumes can synchronize data directly to your S3 bucket, support sharing between multiple instances, automatically scale with your application, and only charge 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 are purposely designed to provide the same high performance that customers can expect when using a local file system on Amazon EBS. Shared file systems, such as EFS or JuiceFS, introduce network and synchronization overhead with each request which makes them unsuitable for usage with applications that operate on a large number of files.

  • This is justIs Archil compatible with my existing applications? a simple CSS Accordion

    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, so you don’t need to worry about hitting storage limits.
