-As already mentioned in chapter [The Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine Concept][planning-guide-3.2], an Azure Storage account does not provide infinite resources in terms of I/O volume, IOPS, and data volume. Usually DBMS VMs are most affected by this. It might be best to use a separate Storage Account for each VM if you have few high I/O volume VMs to deploy in order to stay within the limit of the Azure Storage Account volume. Otherwise, you need to see how you can balance these VMs between different Storage accounts without hitting the limit of each single Storage Account. More details are discussed in the [DBMS Deployment Guide][dbms-guide]. You should also keep these limitations in mind for pure SAP application server VMs or other VMs, which eventually might require additional VHDs. These restrictions do not apply if you use Managed Disk. If you plan to use Premium Storage, we recommend using Managed Disk.
