Azure Storage Redundancy: Ensuring Availability and Durability in Hybrid Cloud Environments

Author(s) Venkata Raman Immidisetti

Abstract A critical requirement for cloud storage solutions, particularly in enterprise and hybrid cloud environments, is ensuring data availability and durability. Microsoft Azure Storage implements various redundancy strategies to safeguard data against hardware failures, network disruptions, power outages, and regional disasters. These redundancy models aim to maintain high availability for storage accounts while mitigating the risk of data loss. This study examines the diverse Azure Storage redundancy options, including Locally Redundant Storage (LRS), Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS), Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS), Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage (RA-GRS), Geo-Zone-Redundant Storage (GZRS), and Read-Access Geo-Zone-Redundant Storage (RA-GZRS). The research also evaluates the trade-offs associated with each redundancy model, focusing on aspects such as cost, availability, durability, and recovery processes. Furthermore, this investigation explores the challenges presented by asynchronous replication in geo-redundant storage configurations and recommended practices for addressing potential inconsistencies. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of Azure Storage redundancy approaches, enabling organizations to make informed decisions regarding their data protection requirements.
