Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity (e.g., 10 PB) for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in a particular region and tier. This allows for significant cost savings compared to on-demand pricing and guarantees capacity availability.
What does GZRS mean for my data?
GZRS (Geo-Zone Redundant Storage) provides the highest level of data durability and availability. Your data is synchronously replicated across three Azure availability zones within a region and asynchronously replicated to a secondary Azure region, protecting against both local and regional outages.
Who is the ideal customer for this offering?
This offering is ideal for mid-market and enterprise organizations with substantial and predictable storage needs, particularly those in regulated industries or with mission-critical applications that demand high availability and durability.
