Azure Storage
Data storage is a fundamental aspect of the cloud platform. Microsoft offers scalable, durable and elastic cloud Azure Storage which can be available from any type of application whether it’s running in the cloud and anywhere in the world.
Azure Storage effectively supports the business continuity strategy and includes the set of components which allow to store various app data:
- Blob Storage stores file data, documents, binary files - images, audio, video;
- Table Storage is a NoSQL key-attribute data store, it stores structured datasets;
- Queue Storage ensures the reliable messaging which is needed for workflow processing and communication between cloud services components;
- File storage is a storage for the legacy applications which use the SMB 2.1 protocol.
Access to the services of Azure Storage is realized by means of secure Azure storage accounts. Each storage account provides the unique namespace and has one of two types:
- standard - includes Blob, Table, Queue, and File storage;
- premium - supports Azure Virtual Machine disks only.
