Product Overview
Product Overview
This offering provides 100 TB of Microsoft Azure Reserved Capacity for Cool tier storage, utilizing Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) within the US Central region for a one-year term. It guarantees a specific amount of storage at a predictable cost, ideal for businesses with consistent or growing data storage needs that require high availability and durability.
This reserved capacity is designed for businesses of all sizes that utilize Azure for their IT infrastructure, including SMBs and mid-market companies. It fits into environments where data is frequently accessed but not constantly modified, such as backups, disaster recovery archives, or large datasets for analytics that are accessed periodically.
- Guaranteed Capacity: Reserves 100 TB of Azure Cool storage, preventing unexpected capacity limitations.
- Zone Redundancy (ZRS): Ensures data durability and availability by replicating data across multiple availability zones within a region.
- Cost Savings: Offers a lower price point compared to on-demand pricing for predictable, long-term storage needs.
- Performance Tier: Cool storage provides a balance between access speed and cost for data accessed less frequently than hot tier.
- Annual Commitment: Locks in pricing and capacity for a 12-month period, simplifying budgeting and financial planning.
This reserved capacity is the ideal solution for businesses seeking predictable costs and high availability for their growing data storage requirements on Azure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Reserved Capacity?
Azure Reserved Capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of compute or storage resources for a one-year or three-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This helps in managing costs and ensuring resource availability.
What is Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS)?
ZRS protects your data against localized failures by replicating it synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region. This ensures high durability and availability even if an entire availability zone becomes unavailable.
When should I use Cool storage tier?
Cool storage is ideal for data that is accessed infrequently but still requires rapid access when needed. Examples include backups, disaster recovery files, and older data that needs to be retained for compliance but is not accessed daily.
