#Microsoft has added a new tier to the #Azure Storage service, using flash-based drives to meet the needs of applications and services that call for high speed and low latency, enabling customers to lift-and-shift demanding enterprise applications to the cloud.
Available now, Microsoft Azure Premium Storage is designed for virtual machines hosted in the firm's cloud running workloads that require consistent high input/output performance and low latency to host I/O intensive workloads such as online transaction processing, big data and data warehousing.
The move means that Microsoft's Azure cloud platform now offers two types of durable storage: Premium Storage, which uses the latest SSD technology, according to Microsoft, and Standard Storage, which still relies on hard disks.
Premium Storage enables customers to provision a Data Disk with the right performance characteristics to meet the requirements of their application, Microsoft said.
