Service Features – Storage
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.

How Can Your Business Embrace the Cloud When It Has Physical Anchor Point Requirements?
Many organizations have physical anchor point requirements. These can include:
- Devices that cannot connect to the cloud because of location, such as oil well monitors in the field.
- Networks, servers, or other infrastructure that must be in a physical location to meet compliance regulations.
These physical anchor points do not need to hold your organization back. There is a way to harness the power of cloud computing while maintaining a physical anchor point.
KPMG Norway is a great example of what businesses gain with Azure Stack. Dag Jorgensen, Chief Information Officer for the multinational firm, said, “With Azure, we are able to speed up time from idea to realization,” Jørgensen says. “We don’t have to scale up requested capabilities in-house—install software, test it, perform security assessments, and all that. We just grab and go.”
Without the advanced capabilities of the new Microsoft Azure Stack, your business could be slower to market, paying more to scale up operations, and limiting itself to costly capital expenditure on proprietary servers.
Microsoft Azure Stack Reduces Time to Market, Saves Costs and Enables Better Customer Experiences
“We needed a solution that gave our developers and administrators the ability to use common tool sets on-premises and in the cloud, while meeting our security requirements and keeping capital and operational costs to a minimum,” says Christopher Rivers, Director of Information Technology at Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Businesses without access to the power of Microsoft Azure can be struggling to improve their app development because of the differences between servers, architecture, and deployment in different locations. Investments in new hardware every five years are very costly.
“We use Azure Stack and its capabilities to help meet all the requirements for GDPR and more securely automate the storage and management of our citizens’ information,” explains Pierre Vella, Head of Program Management at Malta’s Information Technology Agency.
Improved security, simpler compliance with regulations, and lower costs are the benefits of Microsoft Azure Stack. Organizations without these tools can be falling behind.
