This document discusses different types of Azure storage accounts and their characteristics for use with Azure Media Services. It outlines Locally Redundant Storage (LRS), Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS), Geographically Redundant Storage (GRS), and Read-Access Geographically Redundant Storage (RA-GRS) and compares their redundancy, availability, and appropriate uses. It also provides links for additional documentation and resources on Azure Media Services.

How it works
Makes multiple
synchronous copies of
your data within a
single datacenter
Stores three copies of data
across multiple datacenters
within or across regions. For
block blobs only.
Same as LRS, plus multiple
asynchronous copies to a
second datacenter
hundreds of miles away
Same as GRS, plus read
access to the secondary
datacenter
Total copies 3 3 6 6
Why use it
For economical local
storage or data
governance compliance
An economical, higher
durability option for block
blob storage
For protection against a
major datacenter outage
or disaster
Provides read access to
data during an outage, for
maximum data availability
and durability
Availability SLA 99.9% read/write 99.9% read/write 99.9% read/write
99.9% write
99.99% read
