"Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) environments generate large volumes of operational, audit, and telemetry data. Without proactive management, this accumulation impacts performance, database costs, batch execution, and long-term maintainability.
This session provides a practical, hands-on guide to the tools, features, and techniques you can use to optimize storage, reduce costs, and keep your D365 F&O environment healthy.
The Data Archive with Long-Term Retention feature for Dynamics 365 F&O enables secure archiving of historical transaction data into a Managed Data Lake, reducing database size and capacity usage while improving system performance. Beyond operational efficiency, LTR unlocks powerful analytical and compliance benefits. Because archived data is retained in the Data Lake, customers can continue to build rich reports and analytics such as compliance audits, forecasting models, and historical trend analysis without reintroducing load on the ERP environment. This separation ensures that analytics on long-term historical data remain both cost-effective and non-disruptive. This delivers a scalable, secure, and high-value approach to managing data growth while enabling continuous insight generation across the organization."
