Explore best practices around the following use cases related to the Microsoft Azure platform: Long-term retention of data in the cloud, migration of critical workloads including those running in VMware and Hyper-V, and resiliency of business services running in the cloud. Each of these scenarios are part of what Veritas 360 data management in the cloud can provide. Learn the best way to design, deploy, and manage within each of these scenarios on Azure, and gain key insights into how to avoid pitfalls of common practices and how to boost your cloud ROI – demonstrated via a reference architecture.

7. Organizations can move data to the cloud
• Using various protocols such as Object, Block, NFS and
CIFS/SMB
• Capabilities such as Storage Tiering enables performance and
cost optimization by moving data to Hot and Cool tiers
• Policy based bi-directional data movement helps to bring back
hot data to on-premises storage
• Encrypted and secure stream of data sent to cloud

Access can be deployed AVMs
• To automatically provision the right tier of Azure Storage Disk or
Azure Blob tiers.
• Works with cloud native applications for both file, object and
block based access
• Effective resource utilization with thin provisioned storage
