 #  Benefits of using Azure NetApp Files for SQL Server deployment
 
-Azure NetApp Files reduces SQL Server total cost of ownership (TCO) as compared to block storage solutions. With block storage, virtual machines have imposed limits on I/O and bandwidth for disk operations. Only network bandwidth limits are applied against Azure NetApp Files, and on egress only at that. In other words, no VM level I/O limits are applied to Azure NetApp Files. Without these I/O limits, SQL Server running on smaller virtual machines connected to Azure NetApp Files can perform as well as SQL Server running on much larger virtual machines. Sizing instances down as such reduces the compute cost to 25% of the former price tag. *You can reduce compute costs with Azure NetApp Files.*

All performance metrics from these runs were from the point of view of perfmon, for repeatability SSB ran three times per scenario.

 # Understand volume quota
 
-This article provides an overview about volume quota for Azure NetApp Files. It also provides references to details that can help you monitor and manage the capacity of a volume or capacity pool.  
+Learn how volume quotas work and learn how to monitor and manage the capacity of a volume or capacity pool in Azure NetApp Files.
 
 ## Behaviors of volume quota 
 
 * The storage capacity of an Azure NetApp Files volume is limited to the set size (quota) of the volume. 
 
-* When volume consumption maxes out, neither the volume nor the underlying capacity pool grows automatically. Instead, the volume will receive an “out of space” condition. However, you can [resize the capacity pool or a volume](azure-netapp-files-resize-capacity-pools-or-volumes.md) as needed. You should actively [monitor the capacity of a volume](monitor-volume-capacity.md) and the underlying capacity pool.

You should actively [monitor the capacity of a volume](monitor-volume-capacity.md) and the underlying capacity pool.
 
 * Depending on the capacity pool type, the size (quota) of an Azure NetApp Files volume has an impact on its bandwidth performance and the provisioned capacity.  See the [auto QoS pool type](azure-netapp-files-understand-storage-hierarchy.md#qos_types) for details.
