Dell APEX Block Storage for Azure offers seamless deployment and execution of workloads in the cloud. It supports deployment across multiple availability zones and provides compatibility with both Azure managed disks for persistent storage and NVMe SSD local VM disks for resiliency.
APEX Block Storage features a two-layer software-defined infrastructure design, allowing customers to independently scale APEX Block Storage and compute nodes to meet the evolving demands of their critical workloads.
This paper demonstrates the resiliency that can be achieved with SQL Server databases operating on Dell APEX Block Storage for Azure and shows how SQL Server 2022 failover clusters can be built across availability zones.
