## Solutions with premium storage and Azure Write Accelerator for Azure M-Series virtual machines
26
26
Azure Write Accelerator is a functionality that is available for Azure M-Series Virtual Machines (VM) exclusively in combination with Azure premium storage. As the name states, the purpose of the functionality is to improve I/O latency of writes against the Azure premium storage. For SAP HANA, Write Accelerator is supposed to be used against the **/hana/log** volume only. Therefore, the **/hana/data** and **/hana/log** are separate volumes with Azure Write Accelerator supporting the **/hana/log** volume only.

The ideal cases where this burst functionality can be planned in is likely going to be the volumes or disks that contain data files for the different DBMS. The I/O workload expected against those volumes, especially with small to mid-ranged systems is expected to look like:

Check whether the storage throughput for the different suggested volumes meets the workload that you want to run. If the workload requires higher volumes for **/hana/data** and **/hana/log**, you need to increase the number of Azure premium storage VHDs. Sizing a volume with more VHDs than listed increases the IOPS and I/O throughput within the limits of the Azure virtual machine type.
