Windows Azure Drive Capabilities

bull A Windows Azure Drive is a Page Blob formatted as a NTFS single volume Virtual Hard Drive (VHD)ndash Drives can be up to 1TB

bull A VM can dynamically mount up to 8 drivesbull A Page Blob can only be mounted by one VM at a

time for readwrite

bull Remote Access via Page Blobndash Can upload the VHD to its Page Blob using the blob

interface and then mount it as a Drivendash Can download the Drive through the Page Blob interface

Windows Azure Drive Client Interface

bull Create Drivendash Create a Page Blob and format it as a NTFS single

volume VHD

bull Mount Drivendash Acquire the lease on the NTFS formatted Page Blob

and mount it as a drive letterbull Page Blob lease is maintained as long as drive is mounted

bull Unmount Drivebull Release the Page Blob lease and unmount drive letter

bull Snapshot Drivendash Snapshot Blob

bull Copy Drivendash Copy Blob

Storage Durability

1 Replicate within the same geo-location 2 Allow applications to choose geo-location3 Geo-replicate data across geo-locations

ndash Maintain multiple copies of your data in 2 geo-locations within the same geo-region (US Europe Asia)

Q amp A

SQL Azure Failover

bull Data is spread out across 3 fault domainsndash Connected directly to one at a time (primary

node)ndash No jumping between them only full failover

bull Secondary node gets promoted to a primarybull New secondary is created

bull Guaranteed consistency between the three

bull Not a load balancing solution
