For audit purposes, previous copies are maintained in cloud storage for a period of time. To get the system back online quickly again, the latest copy of the MongoDB instance is read and loaded. Some of our partners store a copy of their MongoDB instance each week to a premium block blob storage account. The data used to hydrate their environment must load quickly. In industries such as banking, certain regulatory requirements might require companies to regularly tear down their environments, and then bring them back up from scratch.

Premium block blob storage can help you hydrate or bring up your environment quickly.

This section contains the following examples: If you have an analytics use case, we highly recommend that you use Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 along with a premium block blob storage account.

Total transactions per second = 193 + 39 = 232Īssuming your account had 5TB data on average, then TPS/TB would be 230 / 5 = 46. Read transactions per second = 500,000,000 / (30 x 24 x 60 x 60) = 193 ( rounded to the nearest whole number) Write transactions per second = 100,000,000 / (30 x 24 x 60 x 60) = 39 ( rounded to the nearest whole number) For example, if your workload executes 500 million read operations and 100 million write operations in a month, then you can calculate the TPS/TB as follows: In most cases, workloads executing more than 35 to 40 transactions per second per terabyte (TPS/TB) are good candidates for this type of account. If your applications and workloads execute a large number of transactions, premium blob blob storage can be cost-effective, especially if the workload is write-heavy. Premium block blob storage accounts have a higher storage cost but a lower transaction cost as compared to standard general-purpose v2 accounts. This high-performance computing type of workload deals with large amounts of data that requires rapid response and efficient ingestion times for data analysis. AI/ML deals with the consumption and processing of different data types like visuals, speech, and text. The high ingestion capabilities of premium block blob storage make it efficient for this type of workload.Īrtificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML).

Large amounts of data might be taken in, aggregated for analysis purposes, and then deleted almost immediately. In an IoT scenario, lots of smaller write operations might be pushed to the cloud every second. Interactive editing or multi-player online gaming applications maintain a quality experience by providing real-time updates. However, they must be instantly displayed to the customer on demand. For example, in an e-commerce application, less frequently viewed items are likely not cached. E-commerce and mapping applications often require instant updates and user feedback.

Highly interactive and real-time applications must write data quickly. Premium block blob storage accounts are ideal for workloads that require fast and consistent response times and/or have a high number of input output operations per second (IOP). By contrast, the performance of a hard disk drive (HDD) depends on the proximity of data to the read/write heads. File transfer is much faster because data is stored on instantly accessible memory chips. SSDs provide higher throughput compared to traditional hard drives. Data is stored on solid-state drives (SSDs) which are optimized for low latency. Premium block blob storage accounts make data available via high-performance hardware.
