What is a Hybrid Archive Storage Architecture?

Archive storage is designed for long-term data protection often using replication or data coping. A hybrid archive storage replicates data to different technologies to allow for higher cost, faster storage (such as hard disk) paired with lower cost, more robust storage (such as tape or Cloud). Also tape storage could be paired with Cloud storage, to remove the often-costly Cloud to Cloud migration, should an organization decide to switch Cloud providers.
