Overview
Enterprise Azure DevOps instances accumulate years of completed work items, test results, build records, attachments, and historical projects as organizations scale delivery across teams and products.
When historical data remains in active Azure DevOps environments, storage costs escalate, system performance degrades, backup operations become complex, and modernization initiatives face increased risk and timeline pressure.
OpsHub Archive Manager (OAM) enables systematic archiving of inactive Azure DevOps projects into a database. Archived data moves out of active environments while remaining fully accessible through a familiar ALM-style read-only interface, preserving complete context including comments, attachments, links, relationships, and history for compliance and audit readiness.
