Data management

Implement data management practices to reduce the provisioned storage required to support your workload, and the resources required to use it. Understand your data, and use storage technologies and configurations that best support the business value of the data and how it’s used. Lifecycle data to more efficient, less performant storage when requirements decrease, and delete data that’s no longer required.

Best practices

• SUS04-BP01 Implement a data classification policy
• SUS04-BP02 Use technologies that support data access and storage patterns
• SUS04-BP03 Use policies to manage the lifecycle of your datasets
• SUS04-BP04 Use elasticity and automation to expand block storage or file system
• SUS04-BP05 Remove unneeded or redundant data
• SUS04-BP06 Use shared file systems or storage to access common data
• SUS04-BP07 Minimize data movement across networks
• SUS04-BP08 Back up data only when difficult to recreate
