Overview

Microsoft Azure Storage is a highly distributed, massively scalable, and ubiquitously accessible cloud storage platform. Azure storage already runs at Exascale (storing Exabytes of data) and we will scale our designs over the next decade to support Zettascale (storing Zettabytes of data). Within Azure Storage, the Ultra Disk team provides next-generation block storage platform for the most demanding cloud storage workloads. If delivering the fastest block storage platform in the cloud using cutting edge technology sounds interesting, we may have the job for you!
