  • You want a highly performant storage solution with built-in data protection features such as snapshots, backup, and replication.

We also learned how to configure Azure NetApp Files with AVS, covering:

  • How to configure connectivity between your AVS private cloud and the Azure NetApp Files service.
  • How to appropriately size volumes based on workload demands.
  • How to connect Azure NetApp Files volumes as datastores to AVS hosts.
  • How to connect your Azure NetApp Files volumes to an AVS virtual machine.

Azure NetApp Files can support your most demanding enterprise workloads by providing excellent storage performance, maximum availability, and the flexibility to scale as your requirements change.
