Struggling with high storage costs? Time to get deleting, as study finds up to 50% of data could be unused

• Cutting 100TB could save AWS customers $27,600 per year in storage
• Storage costs are rising as data centers face increased demand
• 62% of workers spend too much time searching for information

With artificial intelligence straining hardware supply, many have experienced rising cloud storage costs, but there’s an even easier way companies can cut costs without shifting vendors.

A new Crown Information Management report has revealed up to 50% of enterprise data sits unused, taking up valuable storage space when it could otherwise be archived.

According to the data, simply removing 100TB of cloud data could save the average AWS Standard storage customer $27,600 per year in fees – a not-so-insignificant sum.
