    Integrate Tiger Bridge with IDrive® e2

    Tiger Bridge is a hybrid cloud data management platform that connects on-premises storage with cloud object storage. It automatically replicates and tiers files to the cloud, enabling seamless archiving, backup, and disaster recovery without changing user workflows. This helps businesses reduce local storage costs while ensuring continuous file accessibility. IDrive® e2 S3-compatible object storage provides Tiger Bridge with secure, scalable, and highly durable cloud storage for efficient data protection and long-term retention.
