ENTERPRISE DATA • ARCHIVING • COMPLIANCE
About DataCyclic
A team of enterprise data practitioners on a mission to make archiving cost‑efficient, simple, and trusted — so that engineers, compliance teams, and business users can all work with historical data confidently.
Our Story
The founding team behind DataCyclic has spent years inside large enterprises and global software vendors, helping organizations manage data across Oracle, SQL Server, cloud warehouses, and legacy applications. We repeatedly saw the same pattern: traditional archiving tools were complex, expensive and rigid.
Projects that should have taken weeks turned into year‑long implementations. Only a handful of specialists could operate the stack. Compliance teams were often forced to accept “good enough” visibility instead of the auditable, policy‑driven behavior they actually needed.
DataCyclic was born from the belief that archiving should feel more like using a modern analytics platform than wrestling with a storage appliance: API‑driven, observable, elastic, and friendly to both engineers and non‑engineers.
Our mission is to democratize data archiving, putting powerful yet approachable tools in the hands of infrastructure teams, compliance officers, and even business analysts — so the entire organization can treat historical data as an asset, not a liability.
Our Mission
To provide enterprises with cost‑optimized, secure and intuitive archiving solutions built on cloud‑native architectures — designed for the realities of petabyte‑scale and ever‑evolving regulation.
In short: make “doing the right thing” with data the easiest option, not the hardest.
Why We Exist
During our work with global enterprises, we discovered a painful truth: most archiving systems were designed
in a different era — before cloud‑first strategies, elastic compute, and modern data cultures. They assume
small volumes, fixed infrastructure, and a handful of expert operators.
We’re here to change that. With DataCyclic, archiving becomes a
business enabler: a way to cut cost, satisfy regulators,
and unlock historical insight without slowing teams down.
Modern Architecture
Built around Spark‑style processing, scalable object storage and cloud‑native components for throughput and agility — without sacrificing governance.
Cost Optimization
Reduce footprint in expensive databases and legacy platforms using smart tiering, compression, and policy‑driven retention.
Compliance Made Practical
WORM, legal hold, and audit trails surfaced through a clean, guided UI — so compliance, risk and legal teams can self‑serve.
Experience that shaped the product
Before starting DataCyclic, our team led or supported initiatives such as:
- Retiring legacy core banking and ERP systems while preserving audit‑ready records.
- Migrating regulated workloads from on‑prem storage to cloud object stores with WORM guarantees.
- Designing data lifecycle strategies for teams handling tens of billions of rows per day.
- Supporting investigations and eDiscovery where access to historical data determined outcomes.
Those experiences taught us that enterprises don’t just need another storage target — they need a repeatable pattern that unites data engineering, compliance, security, and finance around a single, well‑governed archive platform.
What we optimize for
- • Days to first archive, not months to first deployment.
- • Clear evidence for auditors and regulators, not just diagrams.
- • Predictable throughput and cost curves as volume grows.
- • Self‑service access patterns for non‑engineers.
Who we build for
Platform teams designing reference architectures, DBAs and data engineers running large estates, security & compliance leaders responsible for record‑keeping, and business owners who can’t afford downtime when retiring applications.
Our Vision & Core Values
We envision a world where every byte of enterprise history is either intentionally preserved or intentionally deleted — never left to rot in forgotten systems. Everything we build is guided by a few non‑negotiable principles.
Security First
Encryption, least privilege and strong isolation are assumed, not optional. We design for “breach‑aware” architectures from day one.
Customer‑Centric
We measure success by reduced complexity, lower TCO and fewer audit surprises for our customers.
Simplicity at Scale
Tools should stay understandable even as data scales from terabytes to petabytes. Clarity beats cleverness.
Practical Innovation
We prioritize innovations that survive contact with real‑world estates, not just lab conditions.
How we partner with enterprises
DataCyclic is usually introduced when an organization faces a concrete problem: a major application is being retired, storage costs are surging, or regulators are demanding clearer retention controls.
- Discovery workshop: map sources, regulations, and success criteria.
- POC with real data: connect to a scoped dataset to validate throughput and policies.
- Rollout blueprint: define phases for additional systems and regions.
- Ongoing partnership: evolve policies, integrations and dashboards as your estate changes.
We aim to be a long‑term architecture ally, not just another line item in your bill of materials.
Global‑minded from day one
We design with multi‑region, multi‑regulation environments in mind — accommodating data residency, regional policies, and cross‑border archive strategies.
Hands‑on collaboration
Architecture reviews, migration runbooks, and joint sessions with security and compliance are all part of engagements — not add‑ons.
Join us on the journey
We’re building more than a product — we’re shaping how enterprises treat their historical data for the next decade. If you’re planning a major archive or application retirement initiative, we’d love to compare notes.
