Your company stores 20 TB of data in the archive tier for long term retention. However, after only three months in archive storage, 20% of that data must be retrieved for analysis. You've been asked to estimate what it will cost to get that data from archive storage and then download that data to clients for analysis. Because the data is needed only temporarily, you decide that it's best to rehydrate blobs by copying them to the hot tier. That way, your company avoids the early deletion fee. After the data is no longer needed, it can be deleted from the hot tier at no charge.

Because the data is needed only temporarily, you decide not to rehydrate blobs by changing their tier. That way, your company avoids the early deletion fee. You already estimated the cost of that approach by reviewing the [Cost estimate: Move data out of archive storage](cost-estimate-archive-retrieval-set-tier.md) article. Instead, you decide that it's more cost-effective to copy blobs into the hot tier for analysis. You know that data in the hot tier can be deleted at no charge when the analysis is complete.
