HSO Data Archiving and Cleaning
In the normal course of their daily activities, customers generate valuable data, which is then stored in databases and/or file storage systems. From a technical perspective, this translates to Azure consumption of storage resources.
Historically, customers have purchased upfront storage capacity based on factors such as the number of user software licenses and sandboxes. If their storage usage exceeded the allocated capacity over time, there were typically no immediate repercussions.
However, this paradigm is undergoing a shift. Customers will now be billed monthly by Microsoft for any additional storage they use beyond their originally purchased capacity. D365 storage capacity and licensing are intimately linked, and managing your data utilization effectively can lead to significant cost savings.
