Product Overview
Product Overview
This offering secures 10 petabytes (PB) of Microsoft Azure cool storage with Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) for a one-year term in the US Central region. It is designed to provide a predictable cost and consistent availability for large volumes of infrequently accessed data that still requires rapid access when needed.
Businesses with significant data storage requirements, such as those in finance, healthcare, or media, utilize this to manage large datasets, archives, or backup repositories. It integrates directly into Azure environments, supporting applications and services that demand reliable, cost-effective, and geo-redundant storage solutions.
- 10 PB Reserved Capacity: Guarantees a substantial volume of cool storage, eliminating concerns about running out of space.
- Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS): Ensures data availability and durability by replicating data across multiple availability zones within a single Azure region.
- Cool Access Tier: Optimized for storing data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed, balancing cost and performance.
- 1-Year Term Commitment: Provides cost savings and budget predictability through a fixed-term reservation.
- US Central Region: Deploys storage within a specific, high-availability Azure datacenter region for performance and compliance.
This reserved capacity is ideal for SMB and mid-market organizations needing to manage large datasets cost-effectively while ensuring data resilience and accessibility.
