+BYOC environments use the tiered storage capability for data allocation. Cold data in your
+custom cloud is stored in your AWS cloud account or your Google Cloud organization.
+
+## BYOC tiered storage
+
+:::important
+[BYOC](/docs/platform/concepts/byoc) tiered storage is only supported for
+[Aiven for Apache Kafka](/docs/products/kafka/howto/kafka-tiered-storage-get-started) and
+[Aiven for ClickHouse](/docs/products/clickhouse/concepts/clickhouse-tiered-storage).
+:::
+
+To store data, [BYOC](/docs/platform/concepts/byoc) environments use tiered storage, a
+data allocation mechanism for improved efficiency and cost optimization of data management.
+When enabled, tiered storage allows moving data automatically between hot storage (for
+frequently accessed, critical, and often updated data) and cold storage (for rarely
+accessed, static, or archived data).
+
+Cold data of BYOC-hosted services is stored in object storage in your AWS cloud
+account or your Google Cloud organization. One bucket is created per custom cloud.
+
+:::note
+
+- Tiered storage enabled on non-BYOC services is owned by Aiven and as such doesn't allow
+  to store cold data in your own cloud account.
+- Non-BYOC services with Aiven-owned tiered storage cannot be migrated to BYOC.
+
+:::
+
+To use tiered storage in an BYOC-hosted service, tiered storage needs to be enabled both
+[in your custom cloud](/docs/platform/howto/byoc/store-data#enable-tiered-storage-in-a-custom-cloud)
+and
+[in the BYOC-hosted service](/docs/platform/howto/byoc/store-data#enable-tiered-storage-on-a-service).
+
+## Enable tiered storage in a custom cloud
+
+- **New custom clouds**: Tiered storage is enabled by default in all new custom
+  clouds so you can proceed to
+  [enabling tiered storage on a service](/docs/platform/howto/byoc/store-data#enable-tiered-storage-on-a-service).
+- **Existing custom clouds with no tiered storage support**:
+  [Contact the Aiven support team](mailto:support@aiven.io) to request enabling tiered
+  storage in your custom cloud.
+
+## Enable tiered storage on a service
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- At least one [custom cloud](/docs/platform/howto/byoc/create-custom-cloud)
+- At least one [Aiven-manged service](/docs/platform/howto/create_new_service), either
+  Aiven for Apache Kafka® or Aiven for ClickHouse®, hosted in an custom cloud
+
+  :::note
+  If your Aiven-managed service is not hosted in a custom cloud, you can
+  [migrate it](/docs/platform/howto/byoc/manage-byoc-service#migrate-an-existing-service-to-a-custom-cloud).
+  :::
+
+### Activate tiered storage
+
+- [Enable for Aiven for Apache Kafka](/docs/products/kafka/howto/enable-kafka-tiered-storage)
+- [Enable for Aiven for Clickhouse](/docs/products/clickhouse/howto/enable-tiered-storage)
