SHYFT STORE

Lifecycle-Aware
Data Storage

A storage engine that manages data across local and object storage, organizing it through active, hot, warm, cold, and archive phases— while preserving seamless search access across every phase.

Designed for the Full Data Lifecycle

ShyftStore manages how data is stored, retained, and transitioned— from high-performance local access to cost-efficient archival— without breaking search continuity.

🗄️

Hybrid Storage Engine

Manage high-performance local storage and scalable object storage as a single logical system optimized for operational access and long-term retention.

🔥

Lifecycle Management

Data flows through active, hot, warm, cold, and archive phases. Each phase defines where data lives, how it is optimized, and how long it is retained.

🔍

Search-Ready Storage

Data remains continuously searchable across all lifecycle phases. No restore jobs, no rehydration, and no operational delays.

📦

Intelligent Archival

Archive data automatically to S3-compatible object storage while preserving metadata required for efficient historical queries.

⏱️

Retention Control

Configure retention independently for each lifecycle phase to balance performance, cost, and compliance without duplicating data.

🔓

Open & Extensible

Built on open, analytics-friendly formats that integrate naturally with downstream search and processing engines.

Unified Storage Visibility

Track data volume, lifecycle phases, retention, and search coverage across both local and archived storage from a single interface.

Shyft Store Overview

How ShyftStore Works

A lifecycle-driven architecture spanning local and object storage while presenting a unified search surface.

Shyft Store Architecture
1

Active & Hot

Newly ingested and frequently accessed data is stored locally for low-latency dashboards, detection, and investigations.

2

Warm

Data transitions to cost-efficient local storage while remaining fully searchable for operational and security workflows.

3

Cold

Older data is compacted and optimized for infrequent access, preserving search capability with reduced compute intensity.

4

Archive

Data is archived to object storage automatically and remains searchable alongside local data without restore workflows.

Retention is defined independently for each lifecycle phase, allowing precise control over cost, performance, and compliance while maintaining a single search experience.

Works with Shyft Search

ShyftStore manages storage and lifecycle, while Shyft Search executes queries across all phases transparently.

🔎 Unified Search

Queries span local and archived data automatically, with no user awareness of lifecycle boundaries.

📊 Operational Analytics

Keep recent data fast and historical data accessible for investigations, audits, and trend analysis.

🛡️ Compliance & Retention

Enforce long-term retention policies without sacrificing visibility or operational simplicity.

⚙️ Independent Scaling

Scale storage and search independently as data volumes and query demands evolve.

Control Data Growth Without Losing Access

Manage the full lifecycle of your data while preserving seamless search from day one to long-term archive.
