Don't Migrate Waste.
Stop paying to move Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial (ROT) data to the cloud. Clean first, migrate smart.
Traditional "Lift & Shift" migration strategies transfer risk and inflate costs. By moving unclassified, legacy data blindly, you are committing to years of unnecessary cloud storage fees and increasing your attack surface.
On average, 40-60% of enterprise unstructured data is ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial). Migrating this waste extends project timelines and bloats your cloud OPEX immediately.
You wouldn't pay movers to transport trash to a new house. Why do it with your data?
The Lightning IQ Difference
Intelligence Before Movement.
Lightning IQ indexes your on-premise estate at petabyte scale before you migrate. We provide the visibility needed to leave the junk behind.
Identify ROT
Instantly tag duplicate and obsolete files to be excluded from the migration scope.
Risk Assessment
Locate sensitive PII or toxic data that should not be moved to public cloud environments.
Topology Mapping
Visualize folder depth and file counts to prevent API throttling during ingestion.
Key Outcomes
Reduce Cloud OPEX
By culling 40% of your data volume pre-migration, you permanently lower your monthly cloud storage bill and egress fees.
Accelerate Timeline
Migrating less data takes less time. Avoid the "long tail" of small files and metadata overhead that stalls migration projects.
Compliance Assurance
Ensure only compliant, classified data enters your new cloud environment. Don't let your cloud landing zone become a data swamp.
