Data and Storage Optimisation Services in the UK
Leaner Storage, Faster Systems and Data You Can Govern
Data and storage optimisation is the review and improvement of where your organisation keeps its data, how it's organised, how long it's retained and how well it's protected, across on-premise, cloud and hybrid systems. Fitzrovia IT optimises data and storage for businesses across London and the UK, including Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Azure storage.
Good data housekeeping is now an AI question as well as a cost one. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data & AI, Fitzrovia IT organises and governs data so it's cheaper to store, easier to find and ready for tools like Copilot.

OUR ACCREDITATIONS
Fitzrovia IT holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, including Data & AI, and is certified to ISO 27001 for information security and ISO 22301 for business continuity.
What Is Data and Storage Optimisation?
Over time, most organisations end up with the same files in several places, years of data nobody needs, and storage spread across old servers, cloud drives and SharePoint. That costs money, slows systems down and makes it harder to meet data protection rules.
Optimisation cleans this up. It removes what you don't need, organises what you keep, moves data to the right type and tier of storage, and sets clear rules for how long information is retained and who can access it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is data and storage optimisation?
Data and storage optimisation is improving how an organisation stores, organises, protects and retains data, to cut costs, improve performance and support compliance.
-
Why does storage need optimising?
Data grows, gets duplicated and spreads across old systems. Without regular review, costs and risks rise.
-
Can you reduce our cloud storage costs?
Yes. Fitzrovia IT uses storage tiering, lifecycle rules, clean-ups and governance to lower cloud storage costs.
-
How does storage optimisation help with UK GDPR?
Clear retention rules, data classification and access controls help organisations keep personal data only as long as needed and protect it properly.
-
How often should storage be reviewed?
At least once a year, and before any migration or major system change.
