Huntertech Vault: Cloud Project Archive Storage

Completed projects still within reach.

Lower-cost cloud archive storage for architecture, engineering, and other project-based businesses.

Give completed project files a long-term home, with easy access when your team needs them.

The project is finished but the files still matter.

Every completed project adds to your firm’s history—and its storage needs. Drawings, models, reports, photographs, and correspondence accumulate across years of work.

Those files may no longer be part of your daily workflow, but they still have value. A client may return for an addition, your team may need to reference an earlier design, or a question may come up about a past decision.

Keeping all that information in storage designed for active work can become costly. Vault gives completed project files a more economical home while keeping them accessible.

Keep the history and lower the storage cost.

Vault is Huntertech’s cloud archive storage solution for files your business needs to keep but no longer uses every day.

Move completed work into lower-cost archive storage and reserve active storage for files your team regularly accesses and edits.

Reduce ongoing storage costs

Large project files can take up substantial space long after handover. Vault helps lower the cost of retaining them as your project archive grows.

Find and retrieve what you need

Vault is web-based. Your team logs in and downloads archived files in minutes for client requests, project questions, and future reference.

Make room for current work

Give completed projects a dedicated home, freeing up capacity in your active storage for work underway.

Keep file sync reliable

Microsoft recommends syncing no more than 300,000 files through OneDrive. Moving completed projects out of your active libraries keeps your team well under that limit, so new files keep syncing reliably.

A practical fit for architecture and engineering

Architecture, engineering, and other project-based businesses generate substantial volumes of information. That information can support future renovations, additions, new project phases, and similar design challenges.

Vault provides long-term storage for completed project files, such as:

Architectural drawings and engineering documents.
BIM models and CAD files.
Reports, specifications, and supporting studies.
Project photographs and reference material.
Correspondence and other project records.

Your archive remains a resource your team can use, even years after a project closes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between active storage and cloud archive storage?

Active storage supports files your team accesses and edits regularly. Cloud archive storage is designed to retain files over the long term that you use less often. Vault provides a lower-cost option for storing this less frequently used information.

How much does Vault cost?

Huntertech Vault is $40 per TB per month (CAD). For example, 2TB of completed projects costs $80 per month in Vault, compared with roughly $640 per month in SharePoint extra storage. Vault is available as an add-on for Huntertech managed IT clients.

Can our team still access archived files?

Yes. Huntertech Vault is a web-based archive, not cold storage you have to request back. Your team logs in and downloads what they need, usually within minutes, whenever a client calls or a question comes up about a past project.

Which files should we move into Vault?

Completed project files and other records you need to retain but no longer use regularly are good candidates. Files still being edited or accessed frequently are better suited to active storage.

Is Vault only for architecture and engineering firms?

No. Vault can also help other project-based businesses that accumulate substantial volumes of completed work and need an affordable way to retain and retrieve it.
