2. Deploy Your CAEVES Instance (YOU ARE HERE)
Once subscribed to the CAEVES Intelligent Deep Storage™ subscription offer, you can deploy the CAEVES Instance using our CAEVES Instance QuickStart template, provisioning all necessary Azure resources like the VM, Azure Tables, and object storage. This instance is typically provisioned close to where your current dark data resides and available as a “landing zone” for your historical data. Deployment is fully automated, secure, and usually completes in under 15 minutes.
For on-premises or hybrid deployments, where your CAEVES Instance is deployed in your own data center and connected to a Microsoft Azure storage account in the public cloud, consult the corresponding CAEVES knowledgebase article.
3. Migrate Your Data into CAEVES
After activating your CAEVES instance, migrate data directly to the platform’s virtual file share. During migration your content is securely stored in the object store and corresponding tables. CAEVES offers high availability and WORM-compliant storage for archiving, backups, or full project folders, ensuring long-term retention and audit readiness.
