For me it was not easy to understand at beginning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The organization generates different types of information, sometimes they could be structured as CSV, tables, tabular information an as well they could be unstructured as images, videos, documents, etc. find the right tool to store all these pieces of information it is harder, but with MS Azure it doesn’t. MS has implemented a shipper tool to address this demanding service. If you want to create this component what you will have to do is search in the marketplace storage account.

Storage account has 4 different pieces, the first one is Queue storage, you need to implement Queue worker you can use this tool and implement its messages with Javascript, python and .Net frameworks. The second one is tabular tables, if you need a table to store data without relations and integrity this tool will fit your demand. As well we have Files, these are really easy to implement and use, you can store any kind of files without convert in blobs, our last one is blobs, with this you can store any kind of files but streaming the information in blobs.

It’s complicated to try to figure out one negative think of blob storage, but if it could have one kind of SFTP extension to share with the external azure network would be magic. Sometimes we move from sftp to the blob storage, Azure should have an easy way to implement SFTP, it could be the new tool of our storage account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
