Extend data storage to the Azure cloud and leverage it for Azure disaster recovery

• Azure Quickstart Center - Pick one of these options to get started

• Azure Create an Azure Storage account - A general-purpose Azure Storage account supports all your Azure Storage data objects: Azure blobs, Azure files, Azure tables, and Azure queues

• Azure Get Started with Azure Blob Storage - Azure Blob Storage provides scalable, durable, and secure object storage for a wide range of scenarios. Create an Azure blob container in your Azure Storage account to get started.

Upload, access, and manage your Azure Storage data objects from anywhere with your Azure Storage account. Rely on data protection from both planned and unplanned events, including transient hardware failures, network or power outages, and massive natural disasters. Azure Storage ensures that data transmitted to the cloud is protected in transit via HTTPS and at rest through 256-bit AES encryption.

Why use Azure Storage:

• Azure Redundancy and Azure replication options provide durable and Azure highly available storage.
• Trust that your data is secure with encryption and access controls.
• Massively scalable to meet the data storage and performance needs of today's applications.
• Hardware maintenance, updates, and critical issues are managed by Azure.
• Develop applications using client libraries for Azure Storage in a variety of languages, including .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, and others, as well as a mature REST API.

• Azure Get Started with Azure Files - Azure Files lets you deploy secure, scalable, and globally accessible cloud file shares that are easy to Azure manage. Create a Azure file share in your Azure Storage account to get started.

Creating a file share that is secure, massively scalable, and globally accessible is an easy, familiar process with Azure Files. Using Azure Files you can create multi-terabyte-sized file shares that can be accessed by Windows, Mac, or Linux clients and are immediately available to authorized users. Azure Files ensures that data transmitted to the cloud is protected in transit via HTTPS and at rest through 256-bit AES encryption.

Why use Azure Files:

• Create file shares without the need to manage hardware or the operating system.
• Support for access by multiple client types (MacOS, Windows, Linux).
• Support for both traditional and hybrid “lift and shift” scenarios.
• Replicate your file share with Azure File Sync to Windows Servers, either on-premises or in the Azure cloud.
• Simplify cloud development with shared application settings or diagnostic logs written to a centralized location and available through the File REST API.
