Tiger Bridge review
Windows teams get policy-based cloud tiering, synchronization, and protection at low per-GB pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tiger Bridge connects Windows-based local or network storage with public cloud, private cloud, object, file, and tape targets. It is designed for organizations managing growing data across on-premises infrastructure and cloud services, including teams that need capacity expansion, long-term retention, backup, disaster recovery, compliance, or remote collaboration. Its hybrid deployment model combines local caching with a single global namespace, allowing distributed storage to be managed across environments while preserving access to files through supported protocols such as SMB/CIFS, NFS, and S3-compatible object storage.
Pricing is structured around use case and capacity. The Free Trial provides 30 days to test all features with unlimited capacity and no credit card required. Scale Up costs $0.011 per GB per month and covers backup, capacity expansion, and data protection. Collaborate costs $0.016 per GB per month and adds global file access and remote collaboration. Flexi-Archive costs $0.006 per GB per month for long-term retention, disaster recovery, and storage cost optimization. The starting price is $0.006 per GB per month, making Flexi-Archive the lowest-cost paid tier, while all paid plans list unlimited capacity.
The feature set is broad for teams that need more than a basic storage gateway. Tiger Bridge supports policy-based tiering to cloud, tape, or disk; nearline stub files for space reclamation; multi-site synchronization; replication and continuous data protection; file versioning; restore points; retention controls; checksum-based integrity checks; partial file transfers; and ransomware protection with undelete. Its ecosystem includes Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, and other listed targets. Choose it for Windows-centered hybrid storage management; teams seeking a non-Windows platform should consider another option.
