Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years, in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This offering reserves 100 TB of Archive tier storage.
What is the Archive storage tier?
The Archive tier is the lowest cost storage option in Azure Blob Storage, designed for data that is accessed very infrequently (less than once a year) but must be retained for long periods, such as regulatory compliance or historical records.
What does LRS mean for my data?
LRS stands for Local Redundant Storage. It means your data is copied three times within a single data center in the US East 2 region. This protects against hardware failures within that data center but not against regional disasters.
