ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Active Archive Alliance

Hi there! So, have you ever had a toy that you can’t play with all the time because you have too many toys, and you don’t want to get rid of it because it’s important to you? Just like that, people and organizations have too much information that they can’t keep in their computers and they don’t want to delete because it’s valuable.

To solve this problem, they created a thing called an active archive! It’s like a special place where you can store your important information that you don't need every day. But wait, there’s more! A lot of different companies made an agreement to work together and help people create and use these active archives. This is called the Active Archive Alliance.

The Active Archive Alliance helps people and organizations do three things. First, they help them store their information in a safe and organized way. Second, they help them find and access their information quickly and easily. Lastly, they help them save money by using special technology to manage the information.

So, just like a toy that you love to play with but can’t keep with you all the time, the Active Archive Alliance helps people and organizations keep their valuable information safe and accessible. Pretty cool, right?
