Data Economics and Control
Storage Optimization and ROT Data Remediation
Convert unknown storage bloat into an evidence-based deletion, re-tiering, and cost-avoidance program.
The Problem
Enterprises continually pay to store, protect, migrate, discover, and process redundant, obsolete, and trivial information mixed with valuable records.
What Smart Stack Does
Data Reader scans file shares, SharePoint, and archives in place. Data Identifier evaluates duplication, age, ownership, and sensitivity, and Trusted Data Collections isolate the action candidates.
The Business Outcome
Lower storage consumption, slower growth, smaller backup footprints, and far less low-value data sent into AI or legal workflows.
When This Applies
- Storage or backup spend is rising faster than business growth.
- A cloud migration or OneLake initiative is about to copy the existing estate.
- The customer suspects significant ROT but cannot defend disposition decisions.
How Value Is Measured
- TB classified as ROT or duplicate
- TB approved for deletion or re-tiering
- Annual fully loaded cost avoided
- Payback period and three-year net benefit
Every figure is measured against your own baseline, using your repositories and your unit costs.
