One example being <strong>BlackRock<\/strong>, a global asset manager and technology provider, who leverages Azure Ultra Disk in conjunction with M-series Virtual Machines to power their mission-critical investment platform, Aladdin. For <strong>BlackRock,<\/strong> delivering ultra-low latency and exceptional reliability is paramount to swiftly adapting to dynamic market conditions and managing portfolios with agility and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we\u2019re on Azure, we have a springboard to unlock adoption of cloud-managed services to be able to engineer and operate at greater scale and adopt innovative technologies.<\/p>\n<cite>Randall Fradin,&nbsp;Head of Cloud Managed Services and Platform Engineering, BlackRock<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full customer story&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en\/customers\/story\/25275-blackrock-financial-management-azure-ultra-disk-storage#customers-share-modal-dialog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stories like BlackRock&#8217;s illustrate the power of Ultra Disk in action and they inspire us to keep evolving. That&#8217;s why today, we are excited to unveil a transformative update to Ultra Disk, designed to deliver superior speed, resilience, and cost efficiency for your most sensitive workloads. This major refresh introduces higher performance, greater flexibility to optimize cost, and instant access snapshots to support business continuity. With these advancements, Ultra Disk empowers organizations to accelerate operations, restore data rapidly, and scale with confidence\u2013no matter the level of demand or criticality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-new-with-ultra-disk\">What\u2019s&nbsp;new&nbsp;with Ultra Disk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ultra-disk-delivers-reliable-performance-with-improved-average-p99-9-and-outlier-latency\">Ultra Disk delivers reliable performance with improved average,&nbsp;P99.9, and outlier latency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For mission-critical workloads, even brief disruptions can have significant impacts. That is why we have prioritized reducing tail latency at P99.9 and above.&nbsp;Our&nbsp;platform enhancements have resulted in&nbsp;80% reduction in both P99.9 and outlier latency, along with a 30% improvement in average latency. These advancements make Ultra Disk the best choice for highly I\/O-intensive and latency-sensitive workloads, such as transaction logs for mission-critical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are using local SSD or Write Accelerator to achieve lower latencies, we recommend exploring Ultra Disk as an alternative option for enhanced data persistency and greater flexibility for capacity and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"optimize-application-cost-without-sacrificing-performance\">Optimize&nbsp;application&nbsp;cost without&nbsp;sacrificing&nbsp;performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is to support workload in maximizing both efficiency and performance. Ultra Disk&#8217;s latest provisioning model now offers greater granular control over capacity and performance, enabling better cost management. Workloads on small disks can save up to 50% while large disks can save up to 25%. These <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/flexibleprovisioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">updated features are now available<\/a> for both new and existing Ultra Disks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-blue-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><em><\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><td><em>Greater control<\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><td><em>Previous<\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>GiB capacity&nbsp;billing<\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Billed at 1 GiB granularity&nbsp;<\/td><td>Billed at tiers&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Maximum IOPS&nbsp;per GiB<\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><td>1,000 IOPS per GiB&nbsp;<\/td><td>300 IOPS per GiB&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Minimum&nbsp;IOPS&nbsp;per disk<\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><td>100 IOPS &nbsp;<\/td><td>Higher of 100 or&nbsp;1 IOPS per GiB&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Minimum&nbsp;MB\/s&nbsp;per disk<\/em>&nbsp;<\/td><td>1 MB\/s&nbsp;<\/td><td>Higher of 1 MB\/s or&nbsp;4 KB\/s per IOPS&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A financial application&nbsp;operates&nbsp;its core database on Ultra Disk to serve market trend insight.
