Managing data storage costs is crucial during digital transformation. Businesses investing in AI, enterprise applications, and online services face rising costs and complexities. Here are four proven strategies to cut data storage expenses:
- Unified Data Storage: Complex IT environments with disparate systems increase costs. Unified data storage, built on a common OS, streamlines management and enables seamless data movement across on-premises and cloud environments. This minimizes the need for multiple tools, freeing IT staff for strategic initiatives.
- Optimized Cloud Services: Oversized cloud commitments can strain budgets. Strategically leveraging cloud services to complement on-premises infrastructure optimizes costs and expands resources without extra expenditure. Balance cloud commitments with budgetary constraints.
- Modern Backup Solutions: Traditional backup methods are inefficient. Modern solutions with smart automation, block-level incremental backups, and single control panels simplify data protection. These reduce resource usage, enhance recovery objectives, and lower operational costs.
- AIOps for Resource Provisioning: Manual IT resource provisioning strains budgets and staff. Implementing AIOps automates resource provisioning, allowing user groups to self-serve within defined cost and security guidelines. This reduces IT team burdens and enhances efficiency.
