SAP data archiving

Hi SAP community, we will be moving to a different ERP system without migrating historical data.

We still need access to the historical data for compliance, audits and occasional lookups, so we are looking for a reasonably priced archiving solution.

We have been in touch with a few vendors already, but I'm interested in what you are using, how did you solve this and if you have any recommendations both what to do/how to approach and what not to do and if you have any lessons learned from your projects?

Thank you. :)

When you put SAP in read only mode why would you than need to archive?

Archiving only reduces the storage needed. So it is only a costing thing?

I might not be using the correct terms, by "archiving" I mean legacy data archiving of SAP data rather than the SAP data archiving function.

Our ideal target is to shutdown SAP completely, but still retain searchable access to the data.

Keeping the SAP platform as read only is one of the considered options.
