Learn about Azure cloud storage solutions at Azure Storage Day

There’s an easy and efficient way to get all your questions answered about Azure cloud storage solutions during the upcoming Azure Storage Day. Organizations are embracing cloud storage solutions and replacing their on-premises storage infrastructure. Gartner stated that, “In 2020, 36% of global corporate enterprise-grade storage petabytes (PBs) were consumed off-premises as part of a cloud consumption service.”¹ They expect rapid growth to continue and estimate that by 2025 this number may reach 59% of corporate PBs being consumed off-premises.
