Case Study: a largest Fortune 50 energy company achieves 59% cost savings and 10X productivity with Data Dynamics

59% reduction in cost & 10X increase in productivity with intelligent data lifecycle management

Data Dynamics worked with one of the largest Fortune 50 energy companies to address significant challenges caused by massive unstructured data growth and sprawl. The customer was facing heightened business risk from legal and compliance issues and IT risk from stressed production systems. A lack of data lifecycle management led to non-critical data being managed as critical data, decreased productivity, and increased support costs.

The solution implemented was Data Dynamics' intelligent data management platform, leveraging its StorageX product for automated policy-driven data mobility and its AI/ML capabilities for analysis and classification. This enabled the remediation of dark and sensitive data, a 10X increase in productivity, and substantial cost savings. The customer achieved a 59% reduction in run rate, with every 1% of data archived from file to S3 resulting in an annual cost reduction of $3 million.
