What is a Storage account:
A Microsoft Azure storage account is a secure, scalable container managing diverse data types with robust redundancy and performance options, serving as the foundation for globally accessible cloud storage solutions.
The company website supplies product images, videos, marketing literature, and customer success stories. Customers are located worldwide and demand is rapidly expanding. The content is mission-critical and requires low latency load times. It’s important to keep track of the document versions and to quickly restore documents if they’re deleted.
