Systems and methods for creating a virtual storage appliance on an object store to which an on-premises storage solution has tiered cold data are provided. According to one embodiment, a physical storage system deployed in an on-premises environment replicates hot data of a file system of the physical storage system stored on a set of disks associated with the physical storage system to an object storage service of a hyperscaler to which cold data of the file system has previously been tiered out by the file system. An instance of a virtual storage system may then be created within the hyperscaler that utilizes the object storage service as a primary storage tier. Finally, analytics involving a dataset, including both the data and the cold data, may be performed by accessing the dataset via the virtual storage system.
