The Azure Storage platform is Microsoft’s cloud storage solution for modern data storage scenarios. Azure Storage offers highly available, massively scalable, durable, and secure storage for a variety of data objects in the cloud.

Azure Storage capacity is virtually limitless. It uses a pay-as-you-go service model whether you’re storing a few hundred GBs or trillions of objects.

Benefits of Azure Storage:

• Durability. Azure Storage data is replicated multiple times across regions. Redundancy ensures that your data is safe in the event of transient hardware failures.
• Secure. All data written to an Azure storage account is encrypted by the service. Azure Storage provides fine-grained control over who has access to your data.
• Scalable. Azure Storage is designed to be massively scalable to meet the data storage and performance needs of today’s applications.
• Managed. Azure handles hardware maintenance, updates, and critical issues for you.
• Accessible. Data in Azure Storage is accessible from anywhere in the world over HTTP or HTTPS.
