Storage and databases that grew without a data strategy.

Storage tiers and database engines reviewed and right-sized so performance, cost, and redundancy actually match what the data needs.

What Storage & Data covers

Storage & Data is about matching the right storage tier and database engine to how data is actually accessed — instead of everything living in the same default bucket or database because nobody revisited the original choice. This applies across any platform, even though the specific service names differ.

On Microsoft Azure

How we deliver this on Microsoft Azure

The detail below is Azure-specific. As other platforms come online, this same page will show the equivalent approach for whichever platform you select.

Storage accounts, Azure Files, Azure SQL, and Cosmos DB reviewed and right-sized so performance, cost, and redundancy actually match what the data needs.

Storage Accounts Azure Files Azure SQL 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
