# Azure Blob Storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>[Azure Blob Storage](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction) is Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud. Blob Storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data. Unstructured data is data that doesn't adhere to a particular data model or definition, such as text or binary data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>[Azure Files](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-introduction) offers fully managed
|
||
|
|
> file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (`SMB`) protocol,
|
||
|
|
> Network File System (`NFS`) protocol, and `Azure Files REST API`. `Azure Files` are based on the `Azure Blob Storage`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Azure Blob Storage` is designed for:
|
||
|
|
- Serving images or documents directly to a browser.
|
||
|
|
- Storing files for distributed access.
|
||
|
|
- Streaming video and audio.
|
||
|
|
- Writing to log files.
|
||
|
|
- Storing data for backup and restore, disaster recovery, and archiving.
|
||
|
|
- Storing data for analysis by an on-premises or Azure-hosted service.
