Data Lifecycle — Kitchen Counter vs Secure Attic

SAP/Cloud Migration·#LIFECYCLE

A single evolving split-screen dashboard built on the 'kitchen counter vs. secure attic' metaphor: you wouldn't keep ten-year-old tax receipts on the counter where you cook, so why keep rarely-accessed data on your most expensive hot storage? Dragging the timeline compounds the monthly TCO curve under Strategy A (static hot tier) while kinetic overlays surface the Komprise 60–80%-cold-in-90-days and Veritas 52%-dark-data benchmarks. Toggling Automated Lifecycle Rules sweeps cold blocks down into Hot/Infrequent/Archive bands, collapsing the cost curve ~95% and shrinking the disaster-recovery restore window from 22h to 3h.

SIMULATION SPEC
CONCEPTThe Data Hoarder's Trap — paying premium hot-storage prices for cold, rarely-accessed data vs. automated lifecycle tiering (Hot → Infrequent → Archive)
CAPTURE SOURCEEmbedded (React + framer-motion)
SLIDER PARAMSTimeline slider (Month 1 → 36) compounds TCO under Strategy A; Apply-Lifecycle slider + Automated Lifecycle Rules toggle flip Strategy A → C across Hook → Trap → Solution → CTA
OUTPUT METRICMonthly TCO ($61k → ~$3k, ~95% cut), hot-tier %, dark data % (52%→6%), cold-by-90-days (60–80%), DR restore window (22h → 3h)

HOW THIS RUNS

This is a live, interactive recreation embedded directly on the page — not a static diagram. Step through the scenes above to watch traffic reroute across the tiers in real time. The embedded simulation is recorded on screen, and that capture becomes the content.
