Moving Access Appliance on-premises data to the Microsoft Azure cloud

You can move your Access Appliance on-premises data to Azure to save on storage costs and for access to Azure storage services.

You can have multiple Azure storage accounts configured with a file system cloud tier so that you can have storage beyond 500 TB available to that cloud tier.

Access Appliance includes the following features for an Azure cloud tier:

  • Ability to attach multiple Azure storage accounts so that you can store data beyond Azure's limit of 500 TB per storage account.

  • Ability to store 100 PB of data per Azure subscription in a single Azure tier.

  • Ability to store data that is encrypted at rest using Azure's storage account encryption feature.

    Use the Azure Portal to enable or disable the storage service encryption of a storage account used in the file system cloud storage tier.

  • Ability to use Azure's cool access tier for cost savings for cold data.

    Use the Azure Portal to switch the access tier between hot and cool access tiers.
