The company has chosen Azure NetApp Files as the strategic solution for NFS and SMB environments in Azure and have been early adopters on each of the feature sets as released and will continue with this into the Cross-Region Replication and Backup services as well.

• BENEFITS Using all three tiers of service to right size for each individual workload.
