Frequently Asked Questions
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS replicates your data synchronously three times within a single data center. This protects your data against hardware failures and transient errors within that location.
What is the difference between LRS and Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
LRS replicates data within a single data center, while GRS replicates data to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. LRS is more cost-effective for protection against local failures.
Can I expand my storage capacity beyond 1 GB?
Yes, this is a subscription service. You can easily scale your storage capacity up or down as your business needs change through your Azure portal or by engaging Zent Networks.
