Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity allows you to reserve a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a 1-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This helps in cost optimization and capacity planning for your business.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for storing data that is accessed infrequently but still requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower storage cost. Hot storage is for data that is accessed frequently and requires the lowest latency.
What does Global Redundant Storage (GRS) mean?
GRS means your data is copied synchronously three times within a primary region and asynchronously to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. This provides the highest level of durability and availability against regional disasters.
