In today’s digital era, efficient data storage and management are paramount for businesses of all sizes. With a myriad of cloud storage solutions available, choosing the right one can be daunting. Two popular options, Azure Files and SharePoint Online, offer distinct features tailored to different organizational needs. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each is crucial for making an informed decision.

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing extensive document volumes in SharePoint Online is a challenging task for any organization. As businesses expand, there is an increasing demand for efficient, cost-effective storage solutions that provide space savings, ensure compliance, and offer easy access. Squirrel is a cutting-edge SaaS solution designed to automate the archiving process by moving documents from SharePoint Online to Azure Blob Storage.

Our storage engine, affectionately known as Retriever, has served us faithfully since the earliest days of Honeycomb. It’s a tool that writes data to disk and reads it back in a way that’s optimized for the time series-based queries our UI and API makes. Its architecture has remained mostly stable through some major shifts in the surrounding system it supports, notably including our 2021 implementation of a new data model for environments and services.

SharePoint Online has become an essential tool for businesses, offering robust document management and collaboration capabilities. However, with its widespread adoption comes the challenge of managing storage effectively. SharePoint Online storage consumption can quickly escalate, leading to increased costs and potential performance issues. Therefore, understanding and managing this consumption is crucial for maintaining an efficient and cost-effective SharePoint environment.

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, managing large volumes of documents in SharePoint Online can be a daunting task for any organization. As businesses grow, so does the need for efficient, cost-effective storage solutions that not only save space but also ensure compliance and ease of access. Enter Squirrel, an innovative SaaS product designed to automate the archiving of documents from SharePoint Online to Azure Blob Storage, providing a seamless blend of efficiency and security.

Azure blob storage has become one of the prevalent storage services being used by organizations to store unstructured data. As the usage of blob storage increases, the associated cost will quickly accumulate and impact the Azure budgets significantly.
