How to get started

1. Activate your CAEVES subscription (COMPLETED)

Next Steps:

2. Deploy your CAEVES environment (YOU ARE HERE)

Once subscribed to the CAEVES Intelligent Deep Storage™ subscription offer, you can deploy your CAEVES environment 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 environment 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 environment, 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.

4. Connect with Microsoft 365 Search and Copilot

Activate the CAEVES Copilot Connector™ QuickStart template to unlock your archived data across Microsoft 365 Search and Copilot. This connector enables intelligent search, natural language queries, seamless integration, and end-to-end security from archive to AI, transforming static archives into an actionable, AI-ready knowledge base.
