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.
How to learn about Microsoft’s Azure cloud storage solutions
Microsoft is not only a benefactor of this growth, but also a driver. The latest innovations from Azure Storage are enabling Azure cloud storage solutions to provide the foundation for all enterprise workloads. On Thursday, April 29th Microsoft will be hosting Azure Storage Day where you can find out more about the latest innovations and Azure cloud storage offerings.
