Datadog Launches Storage Management to Help Teams Eliminate Unnecessary Cloud Object Storage

Rhea-AI Summary

Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) launched Storage Management on November 10, 2025 to help teams reduce unexpected cloud object storage spend. The product is generally available for Amazon S3 with previews for Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage.

Storage Management offers bucket- and prefix-level visibility across billions of objects, proactive anomaly detection, correlation of cost/usage/metadata, and automated recommendations to re-tier, archive or delete data. It complements Datadog's Cloud Cost Management with a specific focus on optimizing object storage for data- and AI-intensive workloads.

Insights

Cloud Cost & Ops Analyst

Datadog's Storage Management adds granular object-storage visibility and automated cost recommendations, now GA for Amazon S3.

Datadog's new product targets cloud object storage waste by surfacing bucket- and prefix-level usage across billions of objects and offering automated, actionable recommendations to re-tier, archive, or delete data. The capability pairs detailed metadata and access-pattern correlation with proactive anomaly detection and alerts, which directly maps to operational workflows that enforce lifecycle and retention policies.

Key dependencies and risks include adoption of the product by teams that own shared buckets, integration completeness for Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage (currently in preview), and the accuracy of automated recommendations when applied at scale. The value proposition rests on converting visibility into enforceable actions that reduce storage spend without disrupting production data.

Watch for customer adoption signals and cross-cloud preview progress over the next quarters, plus any metrics Datadog discloses about average savings per account or reduction in anomalous spend; those will determine how materially this expands the company’s Cloud Cost Management footprint.

New product delivers granular visibility, proactive anomaly detection and targeted recommendations to optimize cloud object storage costs

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2025) - Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today launched Storage Management, which helps teams eliminate waste and prevent unexpected cloud object storage spend. The new product is now generally available for Amazon S3, with previews available for Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage.

Growing cloud object storage usage from data-intensive and AI workloads—including large-scale training datasets, model artifacts and inference logs—has led to a rapid rise in cloud storage costs. Effectively managing these costs has become a key challenge for operations and cloud efficiency teams, many of which struggle to identify the workloads or stakeholders that are driving costs within large, shared buckets. These teams also regularly lack the granular context across metadata and access patterns that is needed to enforce lifecycle or tiering policies effectively.

As a result, uncovering specific savings opportunities—such as transitioning cold data from expensive storage classes, deleting duplicate objects or stopping the accumulation of non-current object versions—becomes a time-consuming, manual and reactive effort.

Datadog Storage Management addresses these challenges by providing detailed insights into cloud object storage at the bucket and prefix levels across billions of objects. With it, teams can catch anomalies in storage growth and access patterns, analyze storage behavior in context, and act on specific, automated recommendations to reduce cloud storage spend faster. The product complements Datadog's Cloud Cost Management with a focus on object storage, delivering deeper visibility into usage, cost trends and optimization opportunities.

"For companies building AI products, data storage and processing is consistently the third-highest contributor to cost—greater than expenses for AI model training and inferencing," said Yrieix Garnier, VP of Product at Datadog. "With Datadog Storage Management, teams are empowered to optimize cloud storage costs and prevent unexpected spend. By rightsizing these costs, companies can keep their focus on building better products and bringing them to market."

Datadog Storage Management helps organizations optimize cloud storage by providing:

• Granular Visibility: Pinpoint cost drivers such as infrequently accessed, temporary or duplicate data across workloads, teams and environments.
• Unified Context: Correlate cost, usage and metadata across buckets and prefixes in a single view to confidently enforce lifecycle, tiering and retention policies.
• Proactive Anomaly Detection and Alerts: Quickly identify and respond to anomalous storage growth, cost spikes and unexpected access patterns.
• Targeted Optimization Recommendations: Accelerate savings with specific, actionable recommendations on where to re-tier, archive or delete data.
