Performance:
Azure Netapp Files (ANF) have several performance tiers depending on the sizing you purchase and deploy.
Azure NetApp Files supports three service levels: Ultra, Premium, and Standard.
- Ultra Storage
- The Ultra storage tier provides up to 128 MiB/s of throughput per 1 TiB of capacity provisioned.
- Premium storage
- The Premium storage tier provides up to 64 MiB/s of throughput per 1 TiB of capacity provisioned.
- Standard storage
- The Standard storage tier provides up to 16 MiB/s of throughput per 1 TiB of capacity provisioned.
It is advisable to leave some features of Resilio turned off if using an ANF Volume that has a provisioned throughput lower than 572 MiB/s.
Some of these features are very resource-intensive and may lead to workload performance impacts.
These features are:
- Differential Sync
- Allow to Copy Local Files
- Asynchronous I/O
- Read File ID from Disk
