Microsoft has made important updates in Azure regions in Brazil to support its customers in their digital transformation journeys. The integration of Oracle Database@Azure in Brazil South will allow companies to easily migrate their workloads to the public cloud securely and efficiently. Another update is linked to NetApp Files, high-performance storage services, that received significant improvements to help IT managers achieve greater efficiency, saving resources and keeping your operations secure.
The news includes configurations for managing virtual networks that tend to help companies dealing with intensive workloads, such as data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI). In general, the goal is to assist organizations of all sizes in delivering better solutions to their clients' needs while improving the efficiency of their operations. Check out the main updates that have been made available in the regions of Brazil this semester.
Oracle Database@AzureCustomers in South Brazil can now use Oracle Exadata Database Service and Oracle Autonomous Database Service in Azure datacenters, removing the obstacles to migrating critical workloads to the public cloud and facilitating innovation. This novelty also offers optimized performance and latency, with simplified migration and high performance with scale, security and availability.
With Oracle Database@Azure, customers will be able to use the advanced set of application services, development tools and frameworks available on Microsoft Azure to modernize your workloads. This included the data insights features present in Microsoft's cloud platform and Azure's AI services, that are supporting companies of all sizes in their digital transformation processes through artificial intelligence. All of this with a simplified operation through the Azure portal, among other advantages. Learn more about this updatein this link.
New more cost-effective options in Azure NetApp FilesFrom now on, Azure NetApp Files customers can use sporadic access storagecool accessat all service levels. In practice, this enables a cost reduction by moving less used data to a more economical layer of Azure, leaving only the priority blocks in the main storage. Furthermore, it is possible to adopt a flexible configuration for this feature, being able to optimize the "cold" period of rarely accessed data based on the company's usage pattern.

Replication between Azure NetApp Files zonesThis new feature available in the regions of Brazil allows for more efficient and cost-effective data replication between different availability zones in the same region. Using SnapMirror technology, the solution offers efficiency gains and cost reduction by sending only the necessary changes, improving failure protection. Thus, even if there is an unexpected event, it is possible to ensure that your data is secure and accessible in another zone, without additional complications. Check more detailsin this link.
Protected backup for Azure Blob StorageBlob storage is a service that allows you to store large amounts of unstructured data in Azure. З цією оновлення, it is possible to make backups in vaults: a native and managed solution that offers robust protection against data loss, keeping secure external copies protected against accidental deletion, corruption and malicious attacks. The main differentiator of this solution is to allow for quick data recovery and business continuity in compliance with security requirements, what is essential for the protection of critical information and the operational resilience of companies.

Mesh and direct connectivity in the Azure Virtual Network ManagerAll public regions of Azure, including those from Brazil, now you can access direct and mesh connectivity options in the Azure Virtual Network manager. The novelty allows virtual networks to communicate directly, reducing latency and management overhead. This tends to be especially valuable for Data & AI projects, allowing workloads to communicate with each other, without the need to go through a central firewall. Furthermore, it is possible to monitor and filter traffic between these networks using network security groups (NSGs, in English) and security management rules. Know everythingin this link.
