Azure Files Standard Provisioned v2: The Storage Model That Changes How We Size FSLogix
The new Azure Files Standard Provisioned v2 storage model allows independent provisioning of storage, IOPS, and throughput, impacting FSLogix sizing with unique formulas, burst credit behavior, and specific limits, demonstrated through a 500-user example in Nerdio Manager for Enterprise 8.1.
MAIN POINTS
- Standard Provisioned v2 separates storage, IOPS, and throughput provisioning.
- New sizing formulas and a 5x guardrail can surprise users.
- Burst credits have specific behaviors impacting performance.
- Storage account limits can affect provisioning, demonstrated with a 500-user example.
TAKEAWAYS
- Understanding the independent dials for storage, IOPS, and throughput is crucial.
- The 5x guardrail requires careful consideration during provisioning.
- Burst credits need to be managed to optimize performance.
- Nerdio Manager for Enterprise 8.1 provides tools for setting up these configurations.
