Capacity without capex. Every line item this product replaces is a check you stop writing.
40–60% of your storage demand — gone. The rest of the industry is still selling you bigger disks.
Per byte you store, your archive does more. Per read, the integrity check is already done.
Eight things you stop paying separately for.
Drops in front of your existing storage as an S3-compatible endpoint. Apps point at the gateway, your bucket holds a fraction of the original size, every existing tool keeps working.
VSS-level compression and deduplication run during ingest. Typical archives sit at 40–60% of original size after the gateway is done; multi-version documents compound the savings since identical content stores once. Capacity without capex — you bought the disk; we use less of it.
Query in microseconds without unpacking anything. The index is built into the storage — no Elasticsearch, Solr, Algolia, Pinecone, or vector-DB line item to provision, scale, or pay for. Writes don't trigger re-indexing; the index updates as the storage does.
Modify a document in place. No download → edit → re-upload cycle. The new version is the live version.
Every change is a new version. Restore any prior version, byte-for-byte. Diff any two versions instantly.
Because every version is preserved byte-identical, recovery from ransomware, accidental destruction, or silent corruption is a query, not a tape restore. Encrypted or altered versions become tamper-evident records of the breach; the prior versions stay live. Minutes vs hours or days.
Every record carries its provenance — who wrote it, when, what changed, what version it followed. Tamper-evident at every step. If a file or its history was ever altered, you can prove it down to the byte.
Mass-deletes, bulk exfiltration patterns, and tampering attempts trigger alerts and protective responses automatically.
The disk you already own gets denser, and six line items leave the bill at the same time. You don't buy more storage, more search, more retention, more pipelines, or more egress — you buy less of all of it and run it on the hardware you already paid for.
Same archive, 40–60% of original size after VSS compression and dedup. The bucket bill scales with stored bytes — we just hand you fewer of them.
No Elasticsearch, Solr, Algolia, Pinecone, or vector-DB contract. Search is built into the storage layer, included on every tier, no per-query cost.
No separate Splunk-class warehouse for chain-of-custody. Tamper-evident history is intrinsic to how the data is stored — nothing to ship to a second product.
Every version is preserved byte-identical in place. Point-in-time recovery is a query, not a tape restore. The backup window doesn't exist because backup isn't a separate operation.
The gateway runs in your environment against the bucket you already have. Bytes don't leave your VPC for processing, indexing, or audit — nothing to bill on the way out.
S3-compatible in, S3-compatible out. Originals stay readable by every tool that already speaks the protocol. Capacity without capex doesn't mean capacity at the cost of your exit.
Six line items, one product, one license fee. Capacity without capex — the hardware was already there; we just stop charging you for the four other vendors that used to sit on top of it.
Two tracks. One product. Today everything stores, retrieves, and audits — text is also fully searchable and verifiable. Media gets the same treatment when our verifiable codec ships.
Stored, fully searchable, fully versioned, verifiable end to end.
Stored and retrievable now using standard codecs. A free upgrade to verifiable Pacta delivery ships next quarter.
The gateway runs in your environment and reads from the bucket you already have. Codecs ship trained on Validiti's own public-domain corpora — nothing about your archive crosses the wire to us. We never see, hold, or train on your data.
Every DMS document library is also a citation source for Validiti Accelerate's cache. When a customer asks "what's the half-life of metformin?" and the cache returns the answer instantly, the response carries the chain back to the DMS-indexed passage that anchored it — document, license, retrieval date, full provenance.
That's the difference between a cache that answers questions and a cache a regulated customer can ship. Medical, legal, and financial workloads can't deploy a black-box cache. DMS makes Accelerate's cache one they can.
The cache returns text plus the DMS document the passage came from. Customers get an audit trail by default, not as a separate compliance project.
Accelerate's index is also a microsecond pre-filter for DMS provenance search. Cross-product speedup — the more Validiti products you run, the faster they all get.
When a DMS document is updated or revoked, subscribed Accelerate caches auto-invalidate the entries that depended on it. The cache stays as fresh as the document store it cites.

Honest published rates. We're not faster than every incumbent in every dimension — we're cheaper at every dimension that matters and we don't make you stitch four products together.
| What you need | Validiti Chronicle | Today's typical bill | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Object storage, per GB / month | $0.005 | $0.023 (S3 Standard) | ~78% cheaper |
| Search across your files | included, unlimited | $0.50 / 1k queries (Algolia Build) | no add-on |
| Version history per file | included, infinite | limited to 30–180 days (Box, Dropbox) | forever |
| Edit without re-upload | native | download → edit → re-upload | no round-trip |
| Tamper-evident audit trail | included | $1,800+ / GB / yr (Splunk-class) | no extra pipeline |
| Active monitoring of every operation | included | separate SIEM contract | no extra vendor |
Comparisons reference publicly listed rates as of 2026-05-01. Your incumbent contract may differ. We don't believe in "call us for pricing" — every rate above is what we publish.
1 TB of data, one month. Three storage options at their published rates — counters represent dollars accumulating in real time at each tier's burn rate.
Same 1 TB stored. Same hot-tier retrieval speed. Audit + search + edit included — and VSS's 5–10× compression cuts the actual bill even further as repeated structure compounds.
Three workloads. Customer-facing numbers only — the bill, the wait, the price. Run the harness yourself, you get the same numbers.
Plain-text bodies of recognizable encyclopedia articles, mixed lengths.
50,000 mixed Apache / structured-JSON / syslog lines across 500 service-days.
Public-domain classic books in plain text. Long-form, varied diction across centuries.
Measured on commodity hardware — single-host, single-process, cold-start fresh database for each workload. Searches are direct. Edits and restores write a tamper-evident versioned record tied to the previous version — that work is included in the timings, not amortized away. Incumbent stack columns reference S3 Standard storage + Algolia Build search + Splunk-class audit ingest at publicly listed rates as of 2026-05-01.
Start free, no credit card. Upgrade only when you need more. Enterprise is a published meter, not a sales call.
Caps measure your raw input — the size of your files as you submit them. Whatever storage savings the engine produces against your bucket are yours to keep.
Roughly a year of email, ~250 PDFs, or a personal note collection. Good for evaluation and hobby projects.
A working professional's archive — code repositories, project docs, chat history, scanned receipts, and a few years of email.
A small team's full document trail — handbook, contracts, support tickets, project files, and several years of email and chat.
A mid-size company's central archive — email, files, internal wiki, and multi-year history across departments.
Log warehouses, multi-year audit retention, and any archive that grows past 5 TB. Stored bytes, not raw — so the storage savings flow through.
Every tier ships the same engine. Same density. Same audit. Same monitoring. The license fee is the only thing that changes — the bytes never leave your environment.
We are not shipping a download yet. The gateway runs the same on every Linux host and points at every major S3-compatible backend (S3, MinIO, Wasabi, R2, GCS, Azure). When downloads open, you'll install in five minutes and your bucket will keep working.
Every Validiti SKU inherits the same Safe · Fast · Smart guarantees from the shared language — encryption, tamper-evident history, runtime defense, predictable performance. Same code, same proof, same floor on every install.
