Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
Reserved Capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of storage capacity for a set term, typically at a lower price than on-demand rates. It guarantees that capacity will be available for your use.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive storage tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data requiring rapid retrieval. Cool tier is for less frequently accessed data with slightly longer retrieval times. Archive tier is for rarely accessed data with the longest retrieval times and lowest cost.
What does LRS mean for data protection?
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) replicates your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. It protects against hardware failures but not against region-wide disasters.
