How to Realize Your File Requirements in Azure

As companies make the decision to transform IT operations by moving more of their applications to the cloud, they are often confronted with barriers. Some are simple annoyances that we learn to cope with, while others are far more critical to business operations.

One of these core struggles revolves around a seemingly simple topic – file services. Though file services were once thought to be secondary in the cloud, enterprises quickly started to learn that everything from simple shared directories to more complex enterprise applications required primary attention.

In this paper, we open with an overview of a new file service offering in Azure and then examine in-depth the challenges IT departments face when addressing cloud mandates across:

  • file services-based applications,
  • enterprise database environments,
  • high-performance computing workloads,
  • and data analytics.

We highlight considerations for choosing Azure NetApp Files as the solution for data infrastructure challenges with these application environments and point you in the right direction to get started.
