     In scenarios involving high application volume counts such as _SAP HANA_, consider larger subnets, like a **/23 network mask.** Larger subnets are especially beneficial if you expect many volumes and storage endpoints.

 * In each VNet, only one subnet can be delegated to Azure NetApp Files.   
    Azure enables you to create multiple delegated subnets in a VNet.  However, any attempts to create a new volume would fail if you use more than one delegated subnet.
