When it comes to addressing the durability and sacilibity issues with high security and availibilty Azure managed disks might be one of the best options out there but on the other hand if your project is low budgeted you could explore other options as well, as Azure manged disks can be quite expensive.

When assisting to building a Tech startup, storage needs do change quickly. MS Azure managed disks are easy to manage and implement storage to meet needs on the fly. It allows us to purchase and implement space easily and reliably without wasting time. This important for us to be able to support bursts of growth and new projects every day.

For our client Azure Managed Disks was the best solution as the client was already switched from onsite to cloud and using office 365 and some features of Azure. It provided us speed, scalability, has various security features and the most important it is affordable. Data backup is very comprehensive to configure. We are also using it to manage our Virtual Machines.

Azure Managed Disks provides a reliable data storage platform that is secure and cost-effective. The disks are in sizes that favor different volumes of workloads enabling an organization to make the most preferred choice that can sustain their tasks. It is compatible with our operating systems and cannot easily be spoiled. It provides a backup plan that gives the user more peace of mind while working storing data in it.

The managed disk is ideal for Virtual Machine propagation and ingestion project. From the VM side, we use it to roll out connected disks for our VMs. and for Ingestion, we use it for sensitive files and high availability files that are needed by multiple sources. These two use cases have worked really well for us and have allowed us to scale up and down as our needs and wane and ebbed. The only thing I wish was that this would be cheaper and easier for smaller-scale projects.

Azure computation instances scale very well. Along with the processing power, the storage capacity also needs to scale. This is where the Azure Managed Disks truly shine. They are reliable and are integrated very well with all other Microsoft Azure products. However, the cost is comparatively high. So if someone is tightly coupled with Microsoft Azure services, then the managed disks provide a scalable solution to storage

Azure Managed Disks are best suited for large organizations that wish to keep their cloud costs under control. This cloud storage option allows for a high level of customization. I would not recommend for a small organization as the level of effort to set up and manage may be diminishing gains.
