Challenges with the new Dynamic 365 Storage Model

Dynamics 365 is a powerful suite of business applications designed to streamline operations and enhance productivity. However, Microsoft’s recent implementation of a new storage model for Dynamics 365 has introduced significant challenges, with the most glaring issue being a dramatic shift in costs. In this blog post, we delve into the implications of this change and highlight how Beringer Technology Group can assist you with a cost-effective solution.

The New Storage Model: Microsoft has previously offered a storage model in which all data in your Dynamics system is pooled.

Database storage starts with 10GB and increments .25GB for each User Subscription License (USL) that is purchased. File storage starts 20GB and increments 2GB per USL purchased.
