The new environment splits your data across 2 tiers: hot data stays on primary storage and cold data moves to archive storage, each at a fixed rate per tier. Together they produce a blended rate.
| New environment | % of data in tier | Terabytes | Rate per TB / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary (hot) | 30% | 2,100 | $60.00 |
| Archive (cold) | 70% | 4,900 | $1.01 |
