Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive tiers in Azure Storage?
Hot tier is optimized for frequently accessed data, Cool tier for infrequently accessed data, and Archive tier for rarely accessed data. This offering uses Infrequent Access (IA), which is a balance between Hot and Archive.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data against local hardware failures within a single data center. It asynchronously copies your data across multiple nodes within that data center.
Is this subscription suitable for non-government entities?
This specific offering is designed and priced for US Government entities and their compliance requirements. For other organizations, standard Azure storage options are available.
