We’ve spoken before about the need to establish good data handling procedures, archives, and backups – but these things all go hand in hand with rising data volume and correspondingly rising costs. Fighting data growth and keeping your costs down remains a high priority for most organizations.
Storage costs used the be the major item on the budget making the difference where costs were concerned. These days, while it remains a major pain point, there’s a second concern rapidly overtaking it.
Cloud egress fees—the charges for moving data out of cloud environments—can easily consume thousands of dollars per month for mid-sized enterprises and far more for large-scale deployments.
How do I reduce my costs on data?
Cost reduction will heavily depend on the source of the costs. The question of what is incurring the most actual costs or the most risk is something each organization has to account for.
- Storage overrun costs:
- Cloud egress fees:
- Operational and infrastructure costs:
The solution is to keep down database size, reduce overall data load, and streamline migration and egress processes. How? Archiving is the optimal way to keep databases lean and efficient. By moving inactive or outdated data into an archive, businesses can:
- Speed up migrations by reducing database size.
- Eliminate performance risks associated with oversized systems.
- Lower infrastructure and storage costs.
- Maintain compliance by preserving data in line with regulatory requirements.
