Latest advancements in Premium SSD v2 and Ultra Azure Managed Disks

We are excited to share the latest advancements in Premium SSD v2 (Pv2) and Ultra disks, the next generation of Azure disk storage. We have enhanced the backup and disaster recovery experience for Pv2 and Ultra disks to help you protect your workloads with ease. In addition, we have improved the security measures for Virtual Machines (VMs) equipped with Pv2 and Ultra.
Pv2 and Ultra disks offer high throughput, high input/output operations per second (IOPS), and low latency for scenarios ranging from input/output (IO)-intensive workloads like SAP High-performance Analytic Appliance (SAP HANA) to general purpose applications across Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), SQL, and NoSQL databases. Pv2 features an unparalleled balance of price and performance—a 23% price-performance improvement over the competing cloud according to a 2023 GigaOm report—and Ultra provides top performance with low sub-millisecond latency.
