Windows Azure Storage
• Scalable, durable, and available• Anywhere at anytime access• Only Pay for what the services uses
Enables developers, applications, and users to access cloud storage
• Blob – Files• Tables – Entity Store• Queues – Durable messages
Easy to use REST and Client Libraries
• Drives – NTFS volumeExisting NTFS APIs

What is Blob Storage
• Named• Metadata (name / value pair)
Binary Large
Object
• Block Blobs (good for streaming, 200 GB max)
• Page blobs (good for random read/write, 1 TB max)
Two Types of blobs
Windows Azure Content Delivery Network
Scenario
Frequently accessed blobs
Blobs accessed from many geographic locations
Windows Azure CDN
Microsoft Datacenter
1. Deploy hosted serviceand storage to cloud(North Central US)
2. Enable CDN forWeb page content
3. User in Europerequests Web page
4. Web page delivered fromUS... Content requestedfrom nearest datacenter.
7. 2nd user in Europerequests Web page
6. Content is cached inDublin datacenter
8. Web page delivered from US,content delivered from Dublin
5. Content unavailable,retrieved from US

DemoBlob Storage
Table Storage
Massively scalable structured storage
• Billions of entities• Terabytes of data
Not same as SQL Server Table
• WCF Data Services• .NET and LINQ• REST
Controlled by APIs
Entity Properties
Each entity can have up to 255 properties
• PartitionKey & RowKey• Uniquely identifies an entity• Define the sort order
• Timestamp• Optimistic Concurrency
Mandatory Properties for every entity
• Each property is stored as a <name, typed value> pair• No schema stored for a table
• Properties can be the standard .NET types• String, binary, bool, DateTime, GUID, int, int64, and double
No fixed schema for rest of properties
