Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
GRS ensures your data is automatically replicated to a secondary region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. This provides high durability and availability, protecting your data against primary region failures or disasters.
Can I exceed the 100 TB capacity?
This reservation guarantees 100 TB. While Azure may allow exceeding reserved capacity based on availability, it is not guaranteed and may incur higher on-demand rates. For consistent capacity, consider reserving additional capacity.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot Blob Storage?
Cool Blob Storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid access when needed, offering lower storage costs. Hot Blob Storage is optimized for frequently accessed data and has higher storage costs but lower access costs.
