Microsoft Azure Block Storage Scalability
The solution can scale quite well.

View full review »Azure Block Storage is scalable. It's widely used for Kubernetes for memory profiles. We recommend auto-scaling for scalable or regional models. All the Azure Blocks should be identical, with the same configuration. Each starts with a memory size too high for one Block container or another.
That is challenging to accomplish because everything should be identical. The blocks should be identical if you want three, five, or six nodes.

The solution can scale well.
The solution is used across the organization in BI and data visualization leads. There are more than 300 people using it.

As for scalability, we use other archiving solutions, NetApp on TapCloud, for example, because there are some limitations with capacity unless you extend the terabytes of data.

Microsoft Azure Block Storage is scalable. When you use Azure File Sync, Microsoft gives you five terabytes of storage on Microsoft Azure Block Storage. You can scale by paying for a group or a big enterprise if you have a considerable amount of data.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have 150+ users because we have RBAC, and I can only see my teammates. But I can see 50+ and could be more.
It's not just one team, but multiple teams across five to six blocks who use it according to their process.
View full review »It's very scalable. It has really high limits, so I don't think most customers will hit that limit. I'll give it a five out of five for scalability.
Big enterprises as well as medium enterprises use this solution, and even smaller enterprises. There are organizations with 100 users, 1000, and even some with 5000 and above. There could be only applications consuming this, or end users also, but the end users directly connecting to the solution are a lot less.
It's mostly the developers who configure the application to use this solution as the object storage. Eventually, the end users of the application could be in the 1000s, and they utilize this back end solution via the application, so it is getting utilized by the end users, but it's via the application.

It is scalable.
I think our team that worked on the Blob project was about ten members. That company was would qualify as a large company itself. This was a new solution that we were going to build for the company. I would say the size of their team was smaller than ours, but in terms of the team size and what they needed for maintenance, I think Azure Block was an adequate product to use.
We had one admin on the team which is kind of required to set it up because of the security aspect. But I think Azure Block can be set up by just the developer alone. The main users of Azure Blob are always mostly developers and testers.
The solution is highly scalable and there are not a lot of limits. However, you do have to pay money for scalability.

We have more than 20 developers and 50 to 100 business users using the solution in my company.
The scalability of Microsoft Azure Block Storage has different options.
When opting for a pay-as-you-go service, several options exist, such as enabling the Autoscale feature or fixing the scalability ratio. It is essential to keep in mind that choosing the scale-out option comes with additional costs. Therefore, it is crucial to select whether to go with auto-scaling or manual scaling carefully. The system provides the flexibility to choose either option based on specific needs and budget constraints.

View full review »The solution is scalable. As a consulting and services company, we implement solutions for customers. Over 50 customers use this solution in our organization. Regarding maintenance, one is enough if it is within the same timezone because there is significantly less administrative overhead on Blob Storage. Unless there are complex workloads requiring operational tasks to be done, we can add more people. But from an organizational standpoint, one is enough.

It's like creating normal Windows files. Each time you have to create a file though, you can create it using CLI. However, if it's only a storage file and you can store large amounts, large volumes, of details. Scaling is simple. I have not had any challenge regarding Blob Storage, as I do not have much data actually. I haven't used it on a large scale. That's why I don't find any scalability challenges myself, actually.
