AZURE — STORAGE & DATA SERVICES
Storage and databases that grew without a data strategy.
Storage accounts, Azure Files, Azure SQL, and Cosmos DB reviewed and right-sized so performance, cost, and redundancy actually match what the data needs.

Azure Files

Cosmos DB
Signals
This is likely relevant if…
!Storage accounts and tiers were picked once and never revisited as usage changed
!Azure SQL or Cosmos DB performance tiers are a guess, not a measured decision
!Redundancy settings (LRS/ZRS/GRS) don't match how critical the data actually is
!Azure Files shares are used as a workaround without a clear ownership model
!Database costs are climbing and nobody's reviewed whether the tier still fits
!No consistent approach to data lifecycle or tiering for older, colder data
How we work
New solution, or fix what you have
Tell us which situation you're in — the consultation is scoped differently depending on the answer.
Path A — Solution design
Nothing's in place yet
You're standing up new storage or database services and want them sized and configured correctly from the start.
- Storage account and redundancy tier matched to data criticality
- Azure SQL or Cosmos DB sizing based on expected load
- Data lifecycle and tiering strategy designed upfront
Path B — Fix / enhance
Something exists but isn't working
Storage and databases already exist, but cost, performance, or redundancy isn't right.
- Audit of storage accounts, tiers, and redundancy settings
- Azure SQL / Cosmos DB performance and cost review
- Data lifecycle policy retrofit for colder data
Scope
What's included in the Storage & Data Services consultation
- Storage account tier and redundancy review
- Azure SQL / Cosmos DB performance tier assessment
- Data lifecycle and tiering policy review
- Azure Files usage and ownership review
- Cost-to-performance analysis across data services
- Backup and redundancy alignment with data criticality
- Written report ranking fixes by savings and risk
- 30-minute walkthrough call to review findings
