 Once your [regional capacity quota](regional-capacity-quota.md) has increased, you can create volumes that are up to 500 TiB in size. When creating a volume, after you designate the volume quota, you must select **Yes** for the **Large volume** field. Once created, you can manage your large volumes in the same manner as regular volumes.

-* [Large volumes](large-volumes-requirements-considerations.md) are now generally available (GA).
+* [Large volumes](large-volumes-requirements-considerations.md) are now generally available (GA) with support for [cross-zone replication](cross-zone-replication-requirements-considerations.md) and [cross-region replication](cross-region-replication-requirements-considerations.md).
 
-    [Cross-zone replication](cross-zone-replication-requirements-considerations.md) and [cross-region replication](cross-region-replication-requirements-considerations.md)) now support large volumes. 
+    Azure NetApp Files large volumes feature support the creation of new volumes between 50 TiB to 500 TiB in size. Regular Azure NetApp Files volumes are limited to 100 TiB in size. Large volumes enable a variety of use cases and workloads that require larger volumes with a single namespace such as High-Performance Computing (HPC) in the EDA and O&G space.
+    
+    Azure NetApp Files large volumes is now also supported with cross-zone and cross-region replication. This capability is particularly beneficial for HPC, AI/ML, and large file content repositories, ensuring data resilience and business continuity across various scenarios.
+    
+    For HPC workloads, which are essential for simulating processes and electronic design automation, this feature enhances data protection and availability, crucial for maintaining uninterrupted operations. AI/ML workloads, especially those involving large datasets for training complex models, will benefit from the added security and recovery options, ensuring data integrity for critical applications. Content repositories with large files, which often remain unchanged for extended periods but require immediate access, can now leverage the benefits of cross-zone and cross-region replication to safeguard against data loss while optimizing for cost and scale. By integrating these replication features, you can achieve a new level of data security and operational stability.
