FEATURES & WORKLOADS

Get storage security and performance at scale

Shared disks

Attach a disk to multiple virtual machines (VMs) simultaneously to streamline app deployment or migration of clustered apps to Azure.

Performance tiers

Tailor throughput, use disk bursting, and select performance tiers to improve performance and cost efficiency.

Built-in security

Secure your data with automatic server-side encryption using platform-managed keys or, optionally, customer-managed keys.

Incremental snapshots

Minimize downtime, costs, and data loss and ensure business continuity by enabling cross-zone and cross-region disk copy.

Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) disks

Enable disks to tolerate zonal failures, ensuring high VM availability while eliminating data replication across zones.

Backup and disaster recovery

Minimize disruptions, lower costs, and reduce time spent with point-in-time snapshots and solutions.
