Frequently Asked Questions
What is reserved capacity for Azure storage?
Reserved capacity allows you to pre-purchase storage capacity at a discounted rate for a 1-year or 3-year term. This guarantees you have the storage you need and provides significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing for consistent workloads.

This solution is ideal for businesses, particularly in the SMB and mid-market sectors, that have large, predictable data storage requirements and need to manage costs effectively. It is also suited for organizations with specific regional or compliance needs, such as those operating within the US DOD EAST environment.
How does cool storage differ from hot storage?
Cool storage is designed for data that is accessed infrequently (e.g., once a month) but still requires rapid access when needed. It offers a lower storage cost than hot storage but has slightly higher access costs. Hot storage is for data accessed frequently.
