Configuring Azure NetApp Files

The configuration parameters on this page are exclusive to Azure NetApp Files.

Please note that Azure NetApp Files measures storage in tebibytes (TiB); a tebibyte is equivalent to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, or 1.1 terabytes (TB).

Region

Use this dropdown menu to select the region where your storage will be created. A region represents a geographic area.

Only regions in which a network has been provisioned are listed here. Contact your organization administrator to provision a network in additional regions.

Service Level

Use this dropdown menu to select the service level of your filesystem. The options are Standard, Premium, and Ultra. This field is set to Standard by default.

Each service level offers a higher maximum throughput per TiB than the one before it, at a higher cost. For specific throughput numbers, please see the Azure documentation on service levels.

Storage Size (TiB)

Use this field and slider to select the size of your storage in TiB. The minimum size is 2 TiB and the maximum size is 2000 TiB, in increments of 1 TiB.

Please note that altering the storage size or service level will affect your estimated hourly cost.
