For more information on the new disk SKUs and the scalability targets, please see the section below. To achieve the expected disk IOPS and bandwidth, we recommend that you review our guidance on how to optimize your disk performance.
Premium SSD disks
Premium SSDs are ideal for enterprise applications like Dynamics AX, Dynamics CRM, and database workloads like SQL Server, Cassandra, and MongoDB that require consistent high performance and low latency.
Standard SSD disks
Standard SSDs are suitable for web servers, low IOPS application servers, big data, and enterprise applications that need consistent performance at lower IOPS levels.
Standard HDD disks
Standard HDDs based on magnetic drives offer the most cost-effective solution for Dev/Test and backup scenarios.
