About Azure FXT Edge Filer
Create cloud-integrated hybrid storage that works with your existing network-attached storage (NAS) and Azure Blob Storage. This on-premises caching appliance optimizes access to data in your datacenter, in Azure, or across a wide-area network (WAN). A combination of software and hardware, Microsoft Azure FXT Edge Filer delivers high throughput and low latency for hybrid storage infrastructure supporting high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.Scale-out clustering provides non-disruptive NAS performance scaling. Join up to 24 FXT nodes per cluster to scale to millions of IOPS and hundreds of GB/s. When you need performance and scale in file-based workloads, Azure FXT Edge Filer keeps your data on the fastest path to processing resources. Managing data storage is easy with Azure FXT Edge Filer. Shift aging data to Azure Blob Storage to keep it easily accessible with minimal latency. Balance on-premises and cloud storage.

Azure ExpressRoute
Use Azure ExpressRoute to create private connections between Azure datacenters and infrastructure on your premises or in a colocation environment. ExpressRoute connections don't go over the public internet, and they offer more reliability, faster speeds, and lower latencies than typical internet connections. In some cases, using ExpressRoute connections to transfer data between on-premises systems and Azure can give you significant cost benefits. Use ExpressRoute to both connect and add compute and storage capacity to your existing datacenters. With high throughput and fast latencies, Azure will feel like a natural extension to or between your datacenters, so you enjoy the scale and economics of the public cloud without having to compromise on network performance.

Azure Blob Storage
Massively scalable and secure object storage for cloud-native workloads, archives, data lakes, high-performance computing, and machine learning. Azure Blob Storage helps you create data lakes for your analytics needs, and provides storage to build powerful cloud-native and mobile apps. Optimize costs with tiered storage for your long-term data, and flexibly scale up for high-performance computing and machine learning workloads. Blob storage is built from the ground up to support the scale, security, and availability needs of mobile, web, and cloud-native application developers. Use it as a cornerstone for serverless architectures such as Azure Functions. Blob storage supports the most popular development frameworks, including Java, .NET, Python, and Node.js, and is the only cloud storage service that offers a premium, SSD-based object storage tier for low-latency and interactive scenarios.

Azure Virtual Network
Azure Virtual Network gives you an isolated and highly-secure environment to run your virtual machines and applications. Use your private IP addresses and define subnets, access control policies, and more. Use Virtual Network to treat Azure the same as you would your own datacenter. Traffic between Azure resources in a single region, or in multiple regions, stays in the Azure network—intra-Azure traffic doesn’t flow over the Internet. In Azure, traffic for virtual machine-to-virtual machine, storage, and SQL communication only traverses the Azure network, regardless of the source and destination Azure region. Inter-region virtual network-to-virtual network traffic also flows entirely across the Azure network. Use Virtual Network to extend your on-premises IT environment into the cloud, like you set up and connect to a remote branch office. You have options to securely connect to a virtual network—choose an IPsec VPN or a private connection by using Azure ExpressRoute.
