Gartner research recently published their Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Storage Services. For second year in a row, Microsoft Azure was recognized as a leader based on completeness of our vision and ability to execute.

Since launching Premium Storage, we have seen thousands of Azure customers benefit from the Virtual Machine performance.
