Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Archive Storage?
Azure Archive Storage is the lowest-cost tier for data that is accessed very infrequently and requires the longest retention periods. It is designed for long-term archiving, disaster recovery, and regulatory compliance.
What is Reserved Capacity?
Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage (in this case, 1 PB) for a 1-year term at a significantly reduced price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. It ensures capacity is available and provides cost savings.
What does Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) mean?
GRS means your data is replicated synchronously to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. This provides high durability and availability, protecting your data against primary region failures.
