Generally Available: Azure Elastic SAN for Azure VMware Solution
Related Products
Azure Elastic SAN for Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is now generally available. Azure Elastic SAN offers AVS customers an Azure deployed, fully managed, VMware Certified storage area network (SAN) that can achieve massive scale, is easy to manage, and has redundancy built in at a low TCO. If you are looking for a native Azure Storage experience or want to scale your storage capacity independently from your performance to get the lowest TCO and highest scale, Azure Elastic SAN lets you expand your storage instead of scaling the clusters.
With this integration, we add an important tool for optimizing workloads, whether they are large-scale databases requiring high storage capacity, or performance-intensive, mission-critical applications. Not every application requires the high performance vSAN offers, and many workloads, like backup and disaster recovery use cases or other capacity intensive workloads, can benefit from a more cost-efficient storage solution. Azure Elastic SAN can be deployed and connected straight from the Azure portal, and at $0.06-0.08 per GiB per month*, it is the cheapest per GiB storage option for AVS, while still offering plenty of performance for a variety of use cases.
