This document discusses Microsoft's StorSimple solution for storage management. StorSimple uses a hybrid cloud approach to store data, keeping frequently accessed data locally while archiving less used data to Microsoft Azure storage. This reduces on-premises storage costs by 60-80% while providing scalability, backup/disaster recovery capabilities, and the ability to access archived data from any internet connection. The document provides an example of a company using three StorSimple appliances across two locations to manage over 600 terabytes of engineering data and achieve significant cost savings over their previous on-premises storage solution.
