Azure storage option that asynchronously replicates data to a secondary region hundreds of miles away, maintaining 6 total copies across two regions. Protects against regional disasters.
Azure GRS replicates critical business data from East US to West US, ensuring data survives even catastrophic regional events.
All options keep copies of object data in more than one geographic region for disaster recovery. Azure GRS is asynchronous replication to a paired secondary region (six total copies across two regions). AWS S3 CRR and OCI replication asynchronously copy objects to another region you choose. GCP dual-region stores data redundantly across two regions within a chosen dual-region location; replication is managed by Google and is not the same as Azure’s paired-region GRS model.
