“Lift and shift” applications:Īzure Files makes it easy for the “lift and shift” of the applications to the cloud that expect a file share to store application or user data. It can also be replicated with Azure File Sync to Windows Servers, either on-premises or in the cloud, for performance and distributed caching of the data where it’s being used. Operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux can directly mount Azure file shares.
Why Azure Files is useful?Īzure file shares can be used to: Replace on-premises file servers:Īzure Files can be used to replace or remove the on-premises file servers or the NAS devices. A Point-to-Site VPN connection is a VPN connection between Azure and an individual client. For this, you can configure a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN for use with Azure Files. You can use a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN connection to mount your Azure file shares over SMB from outside of Azure, without opening up port 445.
Additionally, Azure file shares can be cached on Windows Servers with Azure File Sync for fast access near where the data is being used. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud using the SMB protocol.
