Azure

The edge filer image used to create the CTERA Edge Filer instance is created from a vhd file that is obtainable from CTERA support. The file needs to be moved to your Azure portal, using Azcopy.exe, available for download from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10. The zip file contains the azcopy.exe program.

After installing the CTERA Edge Filer, you perform an initial configuration, described in First Time Setup.

The edge filer can be installed in a Microsoft Azure environment with the following:

• Microsoft Azure portal premium account.

• Azure instance that matches the license:

  License	Memory (GB)	Maximum Data
  EV16	8	16TB
  EV32	16	32TB
  EV64	32	64TB
  EV128	64	128TB
  EV256	128	256TB

• Premium disks: P40 or P50 with maximum throughput of 250MB/s.
