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.
