# SUS04-BP07 Minimize data movement across networks
<a name="sus_sus_data_a8"></a>

 Use shared storage and access data from regional data stores to minimize the total networking resources required to support data movement for your workload. 

 **Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established:** Low 

## Implementation guidance
<a name="implementation-guidance"></a>
+  Store data as close to the consumer as possible. 
+  Partition regionally consumed services so that their Region-specific data is stored within the Region where it is consumed. 
+  Use block-level duplication instead of file or object-level duplication when copying changes across the network. 
+  Compress data before moving it over the network.
