Frequently Asked Questions
What is Files Reserved Capacity?
Files Reserved Capacity is a Microsoft offering that allows you to reserve a specific amount of storage capacity in advance. This ensures you have the space you need at a predictable cost, especially for large data volumes.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed infrequently but requires fast retrieval when needed, offering a balance between cost and access speed. Hot storage is for frequently accessed data requiring the lowest latency.
What does Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) mean?
GRS means your data is asynchronously copied to a secondary region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. This provides high durability and availability, protecting against site-level failures.
