Azure Premium Storage, now generally available
With the introduction of Premium Storage, Microsoft Azure now offers two types of durable storage: Premium Storage and Standard Storage. Premium Storage stores data on the latest technology SSDs whereas Standard Storage stores data on HDDs. Premium Storage is designed for Azure Virtual Machine workloads which require consistent high IO performance and low latency in order to host IO intensive workloads like OLTP, big data, and data warehousing on platforms like SQL Server, MongoDB, Cassandra, and others.
