Microsoft has enhanced its iSCSI-based Azure Elastic SAN with significant updates since its early 2024 launch, including autoscaling capacity, snapshot support, and CRC protection for data integrity. Autoscaling allows automatic increases in storage capacity based on user-defined policies, streamlining management and minimizing costs. Snapshot support lets users create backups to ensure rapid recovery, while CRC checks help maintain data integrity. These updates position Azure Elastic SAN as a competitive option for cloud-native storage needs, emphasizing ease of use and reliability for businesses.
Microsoft claimed that Elastic SAN is the first cloud block storage solution offering autoscaling, reducing the need for excess provisioning and managing costs more effectively.
With snapshot support, users can create instant backups of workloads in Elastic SAN, facilitating rapid restoration in case of a disaster, thereby ensuring data security.
