Azure Premium SSD v2 Disk Storage in preview | Azure Weblog and Updates

012e We’re excited to announce the 012e preview of 012e Premium SSD v2 012e , the following era of 012e Microsoft Azure Premium SSD Disk 012e Storage. This new disk providing 012e offers probably the most superior 012e block storage resolution designed for 012e a broad vary of enter/output 012e (IO)-intensive enterprise manufacturing workloads that 012e require sub-millisecond disk latencies in 012e addition to excessive enter/output operations per 012e second (IOPS) and throughput—at a 012e low price. With Premium SSD 012e v2, now you can provision 012e as much as 64TiBs of 012e storage capability, 80,000 IOPS, and 012e 1,200 MBPS throughput on a 012e single disk. With best-in-class IOPS 012e and bandwidth, Premium SSD v2 012e offers probably the most 012e versatile and scalable 012e general-purpose block storage within 012e the cloud, enabling you to 012e satisfy the ever-growing calls for 012e of your manufacturing workloads reminiscent 012e of—SQL Server, Oracle, MariaDB, SAP, 012e Cassandra, Mongo DB, large knowledge, 012e analytics, gaming, on digital machines, 012e or stateful containers. Furthermore, with 012e Premium SSD v2, you may 012e provision granular disk sizes, IOPS, 012e and throughput 012e independently 012e based mostly in your workload 012e wants, offering you extra flexibility 012e in managing efficiency and prices.

012e

012e With the launch of Premium 012e SSD v2, our Azure Disk 012e Storage portfolio now consists of 012e some of the complete units 012e of disk storage choices to 012e fulfill workloads starting from Tier-1 012e IOPS intensive workloads reminiscent of 012e SAP HANA to normal goal 012e workloads reminiscent of RDMS and 012e NoSQL databases and cost-sensitive Dev/Take 012e a look at workloads.

012e Advantages of Premium SSD v2

012e

012e As clients transition their manufacturing 012e workloads to the cloud or 012e deploy new cloud-native functions, balancing 012e efficiency and value is high 012e of thoughts. For instance, transaction-intensive 012e database workloads could require excessive 012e IOPS on a small disk 012e measurement or a gaming software 012e might have very excessive IOPS 012e throughout peak hours. Equally, large 012e knowledge functions like Cloudera/Hadoop could 012e require very excessive throughput at 012e a low price. Therefore, clients 012e want the flexibleness to scale 012e their IOPS and throughput unbiased 012e of the disk measurement. With Premium 012e SSD v2, you may customise 012e disk efficiency to exactly meet 012e your workload necessities or seasonal 012e calls for, with out the 012e necessity to provision extra storage 012e capability.

012e

012e Premium SSD v2 additionally lets 012e you provision storage capability starting 012e from 1 GiB as much 012e as 64 TiB with GiB 012e increments. All Premium SSD v2 012e disks present a baseline efficiency 012e of three,000 IOPS and 125 012e MB/sec. In case your disk 012e requires greater efficiency, you may 012e provision the required IOPS and 012e throughput at a low price, 012e as much as the max 012e limits proven under. You’ll be 012e able to dynamically scale up 012e or scale down the IOPS 012e and throughput as wanted with 012e out downtime, permitting you to 012e handle disk efficiency cost-effectively whereas 012e avoiding the upkeep overhead of 012e striping a number of disks 012e to attain extra efficiency. Summarizing 012e the important thing advantages:

012e

012e
• 012e Granular disk measurement in 1 012e GiB increments.

012e

• 012e Impartial provisioning of IOPS, throughput, 012e and GiB.

012e

• 012e Constant sub-millisecond latency.

012e

• 012e Simpler upkeep with scaling efficiency 012e up and down with out 012e downtime.

012e

012e

012e Premium SSD v2, like all 012e different Azure Disk Storage choices, 012e will present our 012e industry-leading knowledge sturdiness 012e and 012e excessive availability 012e at normal availability.

012e Pricing

012e

012e Premium SSD v2 disks are 012e billed hourly based mostly on 012e the provisioned capability, IOPS, and 012e MBPS. Let’s take an instance 012e of a disk that you 012e simply provision with 100 GiB 012e capability, 5000 IOPS, and 150 012e MB/sec throughput.

012e

012e
• 012e The disks are billed per 012e GiB of the provisioned capability. 012e Therefore, you may be charged 012e for 100 GiB of the 012e provisioned capability.

012e

• 012e The disks are billed for 012e any extra IOPS provisioned over 012e the free baseline of three,000 012e IOPS. On this case, because 012e you provisioned 5000 IOPS, you 012e may be billed for the 012e extra 2,000 IOPS.

012e

• 012e The disks are billed for 012e any extra throughput over the 012e free baseline throughput of 125 012e MB/s. On this case, because 012e you provisioned 150 MB/sec throughput, 012e you may be billed for 012e the extra 25 MB/s throughput.
