Microsoft Azure Azure Storage
Cloud
Blob, file and disk storage for applications and backups.
Azure Storage covers blob storage for unstructured data and backups, file storage that behaves like a familiar network share, and disk storage attached directly to virtual machines — the same scalable-without-buying-hardware model as AWS's S3/EBS, for businesses standardized on Azure.
Which storage type to use usually depends on how the data is actually accessed day to day, which we work through with you rather than defaulting to one tier for everything.
- Blob storage for unstructured data, backups and archives
- File storage for shared drives accessible like a network share
- Disk storage attached directly to virtual machines
Best for: Businesses needing scalable storage without buying physical capacity.
