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 (e.g., 1 or 3 years) in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures capacity availability and predictable costs.
What is Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
GRS replicates your data synchronously within a primary region and asynchronously to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. This provides high durability and availability, protecting against datacenter or regional failures.
Who is this service for?
This service is for businesses, particularly mid-market and enterprise organizations, that require substantial, predictable, and geo-redundant cloud storage for their own IT operations. It is not for IT service providers.
