Slash costs in your Microsoft Dataverse systems and bring costs as low as £0.10 per Gigabyte!
Running out of storage space is always a concern for businesses on the Microsoft Dataverse platform. Emails, attachments, and bulky records can quickly add up, especially if you want to keep historical records. In recent years, the cost to store this data has soared, meaning hard choices when trying to keep costs down.
To solve this problem, we created FlexVault. FlexVault is a modern solution that steps in between the Dataverse and your users, instantly serving the data they want, when they need it.
By leveraging the low-cost and blazing speed of Azure storage, you won’t notice a difference in your workflow, but your monthly bill will.
FlexVault is completely modular, meaning it can fit to any organisation depending on your needs!
FlexVault is currently undergoing a scheduled rollout; see below for more details on when you can get your hands on each module.

Fully Managed FlexVault Pricing
FlexVault pricing is easy to understand. You pay a usage charge per month depending on how many modules you need plus a small fee for additional storage space.
Usages charges are broken down into tiers, with price scaling depending on your business. The prices below are based on an individual FlexVault Module on a 12-month rolling term per environment. This includes the initial installaton and setup, daily operation, and any ongoing maintenance.
FlexVault scales with your usage of the service - where possible, we will anticipate your required tier and advise.
Standard
- Great if you have under 100 D365 users and limited bulk operations. Most customers fit this tier.
Advanced
- High performance for high-usage environments or where you have up to 500 D365 users.
Enterprise
- FlexVault works for even the largest organisations and multinational needs. Reach out to us for a free consultation!
Storage Charge
The storage charge is proportional to the size of the data that would otherwise be stored within the Dataverse. The first 10GB of FlexVault storage is free.
Additional storage usage is then charged at just £5 (excluding VAT) per 50 GB per month.
