Storage keeps up with your growing data needs, with up to 500 TB of total storage per account. A single subscription supports up to 50 storage accounts, delivering petabytes of storage for the largest scenarios. Whether you’re building a consumer site or a terabyte-scale big data application, Azure is designed to handle it.
Storage is available in more regions than other public cloud offering, letting you store your data where it makes the most business sense. Scale up or across data centers as needed, and be closer to your customers for faster access and better performance.
Storage offers a variety of security capabilities to help protect your data. Choose standard authentication mechanisms, client and server-side data-at-rest encryption, or delegate limited access rights to data.
Pay only for what you use to help meet your budget and business needs. Plus, store data you rarely access at a lower price with new Blob Storage accounts.
Storage automatically replicates your data to help guard against unexpected hardware failures and ensure that your data is available when you need it. We keep 3 copies within a single region. For higher availability and disaster recovery, optional geo-redundancy creates 3 additional copies hundreds of miles away.
With Premium Storage, Azure offers the ability to truly lift-and-shift your demanding enterprise applications, including SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB etc to the cloud. Premium storage can achieve more than 80,000 IOPs. Throughput per virtual machine can achieve up to 2,000 MB per second, with less than one millisecond latency for read operations.
Use Storage to help simplify cloud application development and rapidly transition applications. Access data with an intuitive REST API, build applications for Azure Storage quickly with first-class client library language and platform support, and use PowerShell and Azure Command-Line Interface for rich tooling experiences.
