+
+When using the Cold Archive class in an Object Storage general-purpose bucket, **archived objects are not available in real-time**. The user is asked to first restore the object through a "restore" request and then, after some time (from minutes up to multiple hours), the object is available to download for a duration set by the user when requesting it and is billed upfront at the Standard class rate. However its class will remain as Cold Archive but will be available for GET requests or other actions. In summary, for each object restored, a one time restoration fee per GiB of data plus the storage cost at the Standard rate of the object are billed.

Also existing on its own as [a dedicated product at OVHcloud](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/cold_archive_getting_started) (bucket-level granularity), Cold Archive is also available as a class in a general-purpose object storage container. Cold Archive is designed for long-term data storage and data archiving with a very low cost per GiB-hour and per GiB restore fee. Indeed, data in the Cold Archive class is not available in real-time and needs to be restored before being available.

La classe de stockage Infrequent Access est conçue pour les données qui sont rarement consultées, également appelées « données froides », mais nécessitant un accès rapide. Elle offre des performances similaires (TTFB en millisecondes, faible latence) et une disponibilité comparable à la classe Standard, à un coût inférieur par Gio-heure consommé mais avec un coût de récupération par Gio.

+#### Cold Archive (Object-level management) class considerations
+
+When using the Cold Archive class in an Object Storage general-purpose bucket, **archived objects are not available in real-time**. The user is asked to first restore the object through a "restore" request and then, after some time (from minutes up to multiple hours), the object is available to download for a duration set by the user when requesting it and is billed upfront at the Standard class rate. However its class will remain as Cold Archive but will be available for GET requests or other actions. In summary, for each object restored, a one time restoration fee per GiB of data plus the storage cost at the Standard rate of the object are billed.

+When using the Cold Archive class in an Object Storage general-purpose bucket, **archived objects are not available in real-time**. The user is asked to first restore the object through a "restore" request and then, after some time (from minutes up to multiple hours), the object is available to download for a duration set by the user when requesting it and is billed upfront at the Standard class rate. However its class will remain as Cold Archive but will be available for GET requests or other actions. In summary, for each object restored, a one time restoration fee per GiB of data plus the storage cost at the Standard rate of the object are billed.

+### Object Storage - Cold Archive class (S3 compatible)
+
+The Cold Archive storage class is an archival storage class. Also existing on its own as [a dedicated product at OVHcloud](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/cold_archive_getting_started) (bucket-level granularity), Cold Archive is also available as a class in a general-purpose object storage container. Cold Archive is designed for long-term data storage and data archiving with a very low cost per GiB-hour and per GiB restore fee. Indeed, data in the Cold Archive class is not available in real-time and needs to be restored before being available.
