Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
GRS ensures your data is always available even in the event of a primary region failure. It asynchronously copies your data to a secondary Azure region hundreds of miles away, providing high durability and disaster recovery capabilities.
Can I use this for frequently accessed data?
While this storage is in the 'cool' tier, optimized for less frequently accessed data, it can still be accessed rapidly when needed. For data accessed multiple times a day, the 'hot' tier might be more cost-effective, but this reserved capacity is excellent for archives and backups.
What happens after the 1-year term?
At the end of the 1-year term, the reservation will expire. You will need to renew the reservation or transition to a pay-as-you-go model for cool storage if your needs have changed. Zent Networks can assist with renewal or alternative solutions.
