Enterprises looking for a high-performance block storage solution for Azure Virtual Machines
About Azure Disk Storage
Designed to be used with Azure Virtual Machines and Azure VMware Solution (in preview), Azure Disk Storage offers high-performance, durable block storage for your mission- and business-critical applications. Confidently migrate to Azure infrastructure with four disk storage options for the cloud—–Ultra Disk Storage, Premium SSD, Standard SSD, and Standard HDD—to optimize costs and performance for your workload. Get high performance with sub-millisecond latency for throughput and transaction-intensive workloads such as SAP HANA, SQL Server, and Oracle. Run clustered or high-availability applications cost effectively in the cloud using shared disks. Get consistent enterprise-grade durability with a 0% annual failure rate. Meet demand without performance disruption by using Ultra Disk Storage. Secure your data with automatic encryption using Microsoft-managed keys or your own.

Google Cloud Persistent Disk
Reliable, high-performance block storage for virtual machine instances. HDD offers low-cost storage when bulk throughput is of primary importance. SSD offers consistently high performance for both random-access workloads and bulk throughput. Both types can be sized up to 64 TB. With multi-reader mounting, many virtual machines can read data from a single Persistent Disk. Attaching a disk to more virtual machines does not affect aggregate performance or cost. No longer worry about undersizing your block devices. Persistent Disk gives you unlimited flexibility by allowing you to resize your storage while it’s in use by one or more virtual machines with no downtime. For maximum flexibility and minimal effort, snapshots are geo-replicated and available for restore in all regions by default. Snapshots of a block device can take place in minutes rather than hours. Persistent Disks are automatically encrypted to protect your data, in transit or at rest.

Tencent Cloud Block Storage
Tencent Cloud Cloud Block Storage (CBS) provides a persistent block storage service for CVM instances. The lifecycle of an Elastic Cloud Disk is independent of CVM instances. You can mount multiple cloud disks to a CVM instance and unmount them in order to mount them to another CVM instance. CBS offers cloud disks of multiple types and specifications to achieve stable and low-latency storage performance. CBS supports mounting and unmounting to instances in the same availability zone. You can use it to adjust storage capacity in minutes to satisfy elastic demands and pay for only what you use. When disk space becomes insufficient during use, you can purchase one or more cloud disks to satisfy storage capacity requirements. Purchase cloud disks to meet storage demands you did not plan for when buying the CVM instance. Store data on a cloud disk, unmount it, then mount it to another CVM instance to transfer data.

Huawei Cloud Elastic Volume Service
Elastic Volume Service (EVS) provides highly durable block storage for cloud servers such as Elastic Cloud Servers (ECS) and Bare Metal Servers (BMS). EVS offers 99.9999999% durability and as little as 1 millisecond of read/write latency for a broad range of mission-critical applications. You can choose from EVS disks with high I/O, general purpose SSD, or ultra-high I/O. Whatever your storage demands, there is always a great solution at a reasonable price, and with EVS disks you can always add space without disrupting services. If the capacity of an EVS disk is insufficient, you can immediately increase block storage space, even if the disk is currently in use. In just a few clicks, you can scale a system disk up to 1 TB and a data disk up to 32 TB, all without any disruption to your workloads. Data on EVS disks is encrypted using the industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm and keys.
