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 either Azure Storage Explorer or Azcopy.exe. Azcopy is 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.
