Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity (in this case, 10 PB of Cool storage) for a set term (1 year) in a particular region (US West) at a reserved price. This helps businesses optimize costs for predictable storage needs.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed infrequently (less than once a month) and offers lower storage costs but higher access costs compared to Hot storage, which is for frequently accessed data.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS means your data is copied synchronously three times within a single Azure data center. This protects your data from hardware failures within that facility but not from regional disasters.
