Allocated space on Pega Cloud
Hi,
For our application, there is need to archive the data. As per archival strategy, data from Pega database is moved to Pega Cloud File Storage System. I would like to understand if space allocated for any application is Pega Database storage OR does it include space for file storage system as well? For e.g., if we have 100 GB allocated on Pega cloud, does this mean, we can store date till 100 GB in Pega database OR 100 GB of space includes data in Pega database and Pega File Storage as well?
Also, from archival strategy document, data from file storage gets deleted as per retention policy. If we do not configure retention policy, after how much time period data gets deleted permanently from file storage?

Pega cloud file storage has an initial additional 500GB of storage aside from the what is provided in your Pega database. You can buy more data at 500GB increments as per your requirement. You can get more info here.

@SohamM95 Thanks for your reply and providing the file storage documentation link.
So, it seems from the documentation that, we get 500 GB of file storage by default when we buy Pega cloud production subscription and this file storage can be used across all the environments.
"Pega Cloud File storage is a cost-effective solution for storing archived cases, case attachments, BIX data extracts, and data uploaded through the Pega Cloud SFTP service. Pega Cloud production subscription clients receive 500 GB of file storage to use across all environments in the subscription. Pega Cloud production subscribers can purchase additional Pega Cloud File storage in 500 GB increments. Pega Cloud File storage costs significantly less than our cloud database storage and is priced well below many of our competitors."
Also, it seems that data in Pega file storage is not deleted automatically (unless data retention policy is defined)
"Pega Cloud services will not delete any data in your Pega Cloud File storage repository until Pega Cloud services decommissions an environment at your request. For more information about Pega Cloud File storage, contact you Pega Account Executive."
Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Yes your understanding is correct. Data stored in the cloud file storage can be deleted as per your defined archival policy.
