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.
