Windows Azure StorageRich data abstractions – tables, blobs, queues, drives, CDNCapacity (100TB), throughput (100MB/sec), transactions (1K req/sec)High accessibilitySupports geo-locationLanguage & platform agnostic REST APIsURL: http://<account>.<store>.core.windows.netClient libraries for .NET, Java, PHP, etc.High durability – data is replicated 3 times within a cluster, and (Feb 2010) across datacentersHigh scalability – data is automatically partitioned and load balanced across serversStorageStorage

Windows Azure Table StorageDesigned for structured data, not relational dataData definition is part of the applicationA Table is a set of Entities (records)An Entity is a set of Properties (fields)No fixed schemaEach property is stored as a <name, typed value> pairTwo entities within the same table can have different propertiesNo schema is enforcedTable Storage

Windows Azure Blob StorageStorage for large, named files plus their metadataBlock Blob Targeted at streaming workloadsEach blob consists of a sequence of blocksEach block is identified by a Block IDSize limit 200GB per blobPage BlobTargeted at random read/write workloadsEach blob consists of an array of pagesEach page is identified by its offset from the start of the blobSize limit 1TB per blobBlob Storage
