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, typically offering a lower price per GB compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures capacity is available when you need it.
What is Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
GRS means your data is asynchronously copied to a secondary region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. This protects your data from regional outages and ensures high availability.
Can I change the amount of storage after purchase?
Reserved capacity is for a fixed amount of storage over the term. If your needs change significantly, you may need to purchase additional capacity or consider a different plan for future terms.
