Figure 6 — "Proposed Tiered Storage Lifecycle"
Here is the architecture I filed with the SEC on File No. 4-698.
Ours is NOT deletion, it proposes Tiering:
1. Days 0–90: AWS S3 Standard — $276K / PB-year, millisecond query
2. Months 3–12: AWS Intelligent-Tiering — workload-adaptive
3. Years 1–3: AWS Glacier Instant Retrieval — $48K / PB-year, millisecond query
4. Years 3–7: AWS Glacier Deep Archive Object Lock (Compliance Mode) — $11,880 / PB-year, 12-hour bulk SLA, WORM-immutable, SHA-256 hashed, chain-of-custody preserved.
1. The three-year "hot" direct-query horizon the Commission said it wanted? Preserved.
2. The cost savings the Commission said it needed? Delivered...bigger without any Data deletion.
This was never a budget problem. It was an architecture problem in my humble opinion.
Good news: Commission still has the time and opportunity to avoid selecting the wrong lever.
Full submission, exhibits, and redline to CAT NMS Plan § 6.5(b)(i) on the File No. 4-698 docket soon.
