We have approx 8TB of video file data and growing. Accessing this data from Google Drive and editing it on local versions of Adobe Premier is a slow process, especially working with teams.

Id like to create a Windows VM on Azure and run Adobe Premier where 1 or more users can log in and edit files. In the future we would look to be using a storage solution to stream these files to a web application.

What kind of Azure storage would be best for this purpose?

  • Blob storage?
  • VM Storage?

  1. The best way to do this is likely blob storage connected to a VM, you can determine what type of storage you need for your requirements and use that. (This is dependent on the archive tier, for example the standard hot storage in a file share starts around 5 TB and can be extended from there.) In this case you may not need the VM and could just mount the drive to your machines.

  2. since Azure blob Allows unstructured data to be stored and accessed at a massive scale in block blobs. It supports streaming and random access scenarios.
    Also, if you want to be able to access application data from anywhere then you should choose Blob Storage.
