## Microsoft Azure Storage resiliency
2121

22-
Microsoft Azure storage of Standard HDD, Standard SSD, Azure premium storage, Premium SSD v2, and Ultra disk keeps the base VHD (with OS) and VM attached data disks or VHDs in three copies on three different storage nodes. Failing over to another replica and seeding of a new replica if there's a storage node failure, is transparent. As a result of this redundancy, it's **NOT** required to use any kind of storage redundancy layer across multiple Azure disks. This fact is called Local Redundant Storage (LRS). LRS is default for these types of storage in Azure. [Azure NetApp Files](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/netapp/) provides sufficient redundancy to achieve the same SLAs (Serive Level Agreements) as other native Azure storage.

There are several more redundancy methods, which are all described in the article [Azure Storage replication](../../storage/common/storage-redundancy.md?toc=%2fazure%2fstorage%2fqueues%2ftoc.json) that applies to some of the different storage types Azure has to offer.

In the next few sections, the different Azure storage types and their usability for the four SAP workload scenarios gets discussed. A general categorization of how the different Azure storage types should be used is documented in the article [What disk types are available in Azure?](../../virtual-machines/disks-types.md). The recommendations for using the different Azure storage types for SAP workload aren't going to be majorly different.
