Based on the same reliable NetApp technology that you used until now, it supports various workload types and is highly available by default. It is very fast to deploy and very easy to maintain, while reducing the CAPEX footprint.
With the widest choice of protocols in the public cloud (NFSv3, NFSv4.1, SMB3) and unparalleled performance, it is a solid choice for various workloads like File & Backup systems, Databases, SAP, containerized applications, and other workloads that rely on storage mounting technology, over multiple verticals and industries. You can mount vast amounts of storage across accounts and volumes and make them available both to Azure native and hybrid infrastructure and applications.
Being a first party solution, it is seamlessly integrated with the Azure portal, with all costs associated reflected in the same Azure billing cycle.
