Hi.<br />
Have a local file server that is filling up. We are not able to move our full infrastructure to azure just yet.<br />
Looking for an option where all files , say not uset in 2 yrs are archived in Azure.<br />
But for end users, using fileshares, the local files and archived ones looks and are accessed the same. <br />
Like Onedrive for Business, where cloud doc's have a cloud icon.<br />
<br />
Know they introduced a product some years back that included some hardware.<br />
Anyone knowing of a solution that meet my wishes?<br />
<br />
Thanx

Archive into Azure, from local file server

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
