Geyser Data 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Geyser Data centers on a S3 bucket and object model for archived data. It supports standard S3 tooling and S3 Glacier-style archive and restore workflows, which means users can plug it into existing retention pipelines. Typical patterns are pushing GFS and compliance backups from backup software, archiving large media libraries, retaining research datasets, and keeping DR copies that are rarely accessed but remain reliable.

Under the hood, Geyser is built around an object-based tape architecture, to get the durability and air gap benefits of tape delivered as a managed cloud service. The platform is designed so archived media can be physically disconnected when not in use, which creates a barrier against ransomware that would otherwise delete or encrypt retained data. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the isolation model is meant to keep access and retention intent under control. For teams that care about operational risk, this approach reduces the blast radius of compromised credentials, malicious deletes, and ransomware that targets cloud object stores via APIs.

Users can connect with standard S3 clients, and Geyser fits into real-world backup and archiving stacks i...
