Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity (in this case, 100 TB of hot storage) for a one-year term at a discounted, predictable price. It ensures you have the resources when you need them.
What does RA-GZRS mean for my data?
RA-GZRS provides high durability and availability by asynchronously replicating your data across two geographically separated Azure regions. It also allows read access to data in the secondary region.
Can I use this for archival data?
While this is hot storage optimized for frequent access, RA-GZRS provides durability. For long-term, infrequent access archival, consider Azure Archive Storage, which has different cost and access characteristics.
