Frequently Asked Questions
What is geo-redundant storage?
Geo-redundant storage (GRS) is a Microsoft Azure feature that automatically replicates your data to a secondary geographic region. This ensures your data is protected against regional disasters and provides high availability.
What is the difference between LRS, ZRS, GRS, and RA-GRS?
LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) replicates data within a single data center. ZRS (Zone-Redundant Storage) replicates data across multiple availability zones within a region. GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) replicates data to a secondary region. RA-GRS (Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage) is GRS with read access to the secondary region.
How does this service ensure business continuity?
By maintaining a copy of your data in a separate geographic location, GRS ensures that your data remains accessible and protected even if the primary region experiences a major outage or disaster, enabling faster recovery and continued operations.
