Azure Storage

Blob Storage
Massively scalable object storage for unstructured data, Scale up or down using Hot, Cool, Archive, or Premium storage Get scalable, cost-effective cloud storage for all your unstructured data. Pay only for what you use, and save money compared with on-premises storage options. Choose from among four storage tiers, depending on how often you’ll access the data. Store performance-sensitive data in Premium, frequently accessed data in Hot, infrequently accessed data in Cool, and rarely accessed data in Archive.

Strong consistency
Get the flexibility to perform edits in place, which can improve your application performance and reduce bandwidth consumption.

Multiple blob types
Block, page, and append blobs give you maximum flexibility to optimize your storage to your nee.

 Queue Storage
Durable queues for large-volume cloud services

  • Simple, cost-effective, durable message queueing for large workloads
  • Rich client libraries for .NET, Java, Android, C++, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Python
  • Data accessible via the REST API

Decouple components
Use Azure Queue Storage to build flexible applications and separate functions for better durability across large workloads. When you design applications for scale, application components can be decoupled, so that they can scale independently. Queue storage gives you asynchronous message queueing for communication between application components, whether they are running in the cloud, on the desktop, on-premises, or on mobile devices.

Build more flexible applications
Queue Storage helps to make your application scalable and less sensitive to individual component failure. If part of your architecture goes down, messages are buffered, and then naturally picked up by other message processing nodes, which maintains the integrity of your workload.

Handle traffic bursts – Scale for bursts
Use Queue Storage to rightsize your service deployment. Applications absorb unexpected traffic bursts, which prevents servers from being overwhelmed by a sudden flood of requests. Monitor queue length to add elasticity to your application, and deploy or hibernate additional worker nodes based on customer demand.

Table Storage
A NoSQL key-value store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasets

  • Store semi-structured data that’s highly available
  • Create massively-scalable apps
  • Create apps that require a flexible data schema
  • Use JSON to serialize data
  • Perform OData-based queries

Store petabytes of structured data
Use Azure Table storage to store petabytes of semi-structured data and keep costs down. Unlike many data stores—on-premises or cloud-based—Table storage lets you scale up without having to manually shard your dataset.

Supports flexible data schema
Table storage is excellent for flexible datasets—web app user data, address books, device information, and other metadata—and lets you build cloud applications without locking down the data model to particular schemas. Because different rows in the same table can have a different structure—for example, order information in one row, and customer information in another—you can evolve your application and table schema without taking it offline.

Made for enterprise
Table storage embraces a strong consistency model. When data is inserted or updated in Table storage, all further accesses to that data will see the latest update. This is critical for systems with multiple users who are simultaneously updating data store.
