If you connect using storage service endpoints, zonal failover is supported but might need manual intervention. A ZRS Elastic SAN using storage service endpoints won't switch to a healthy zone automatically. You might need to restart the iSCSI initiator to initiate a failover to a different, healthy zone.

Elastic SAN using ZRS are identical to Elastic SAN using LRS (they have the same scale targets), but ZRS does add more write latency. Benchmark your Elastic SAN to simulate the workload of your application and compare the latency between LRS and ZRS to see if it effects your workload.

# What is Azure Elastic SAN?

Azure Elastic storage area network (SAN) is Microsoft's answer to the problem of workload optimization and integration between your large scale databases and performance-intensive mission-critical applications. Elastic SAN is a fully integrated solution that simplifies deploying, scaling, managing, and configuring a SAN, while also offering built-in cloud capabilities like high availability.

Elastic SAN is interoperable with multiple types of compute resources such as Azure Virtual Machines, Azure VMware Solutions, and Azure Kubernetes Service. Instead of having to deploy and manage individual storage options for each individual compute deployment, you can provision an Elastic SAN and use the SAN volumes as backend storage for all your workloads. Consolidating your storage like this can be more cost effective if you have a sizeable amount of large scale IO-intensive workloads and top tier databases.

- **Locally-redundant storage (LRS)**: With LRS, every SAN is stored three times within an Azure storage cluster. This protects against loss of data due to hardware faults, such as a bad disk drive. However, if a disaster such as fire or flooding occurs within the data center, all replicas of an Elastic SAN using LRS could be lost or unrecoverable.
60-
- **Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)**: With ZRS, three copies of each SAN are stored in three distinct and physically isolated storage clusters in different Azure *availability zones*. Availability zones are unique physical locations within an Azure region. Each zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking. A write request to storage that is using ZRS happens synchronously. The write operation only returns successfully after the data is written to all replicas across the three availability zones.
