What does this mean to Microsoft Cloud customers in India?
With uptime of up to 99.99%, this will help Microsoft customers in India to deploy their infrastructure and applications across the data centers’ locations for high availability, resiliency & security.
For their cloud application, now customers in India will get below additional protection/benefit in terms of :
- Resiliency
- Availability
- Redundancy (like Zone-redundant)
- Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity
- Scaling
- Security
Because Azure Availability Zones are physically & logically separated data centers with their own independent power source, network, and cooling i.e. provides additional protection and isolation from localized failure like mechanical or electrical issues, structure fires or flooding, or any unforeseen disaster.
So, if one zone becomes unavailable, the available zones ensure resiliency.
