There’s still time to register for Azure Storage Day, a free digital event on Thursday, April 29, 2021, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM Pacific Time. Join us to discover cloud storage solutions for all of your workloads and learn how to help ensure scalability, security, and compliance with the right Azure storage solution for any use case.

Here are five reasons to attend the Azure Storage digital event:

1. Learn about cloud storage trends from the experts

In his keynote session, Tad Brockway, CVP of Azure Storage and Networking, will address the forces currently driving cloud adoption for enterprise storage needs. With businesses looking to the cloud to help manage their rapidly growing data footprints, data storage and management are more critical than ever before. That’s why Azure Storage is designed to be a single destination for cloud storage solutions—there’s a service for every type of enterprise workload.

2. Azure Storage solutions in action

Watch demos for storage solutions and see how they would work in real-world use cases. Hear from product experts about different storage services, including:

Azure Disk Storage for block storage.
Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage for object storage.
Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files for file storage.

Also, see how customers are using these Azure Storage services to find the right solutions for their workloads. From drawing insights from big data to reducing latency on mission-critical workloads, customers are seeing major business benefits from using Azure Storage services.

3. Map Azure Storage services to your enterprise workloads

Instead of a one-solution-fits-all approach, Azure Storage services are developed with diverse workloads and IT environments in mind. This workload-first approach means that Azure Storage comprises a variety of diverse storage services, each intentionally designed to support specific workloads and scenarios. At the event, you’ll explore the comprehensive portfolio of Azure Storage services and learn how to choose the services that best fit your needs.

4. Get answers to your storage questions

This digital event is your opportunity to engage with the cloud storage community, including Microsoft product experts and your fellow storage and infrastructure professionals. Use the event live chat to ask any storage questions you may have and get insights from the experts as well as your peers on your specific scenario.

5. Learn best practices for migrating and modernizing app development

While “lift and shift” migrations are popular for getting mission-critical apps to the cloud, moving the underlying storage presents its own challenges. That’s why Azure Storage includes migration tools, frameworks, and best practices for quickly and reliably moving your storage capabilities to the cloud. You’ll also learn how to run modern application development patterns like Kubernetes and web, mobile, and serverless apps.

Join us at Azure Storage Day to hear more about these benefits, connect with Microsoft product experts, and find storage solutions for all enterprise workloads. Get an early look at the agenda, and we hope to see you there.
