#Azure Boost is one of #Microsoft Azure’s latest #infrastructure #innovations that can provide:
✅ Up to 100% greater network performance with 200 Gbps networking throughput
✅ Industry-leading remote storage throughput and IOPS performance of 10 GBps and 400K IOPS
✅ Security isolation by running storage and networking processes separately on Azure Boost’s purpose-built hardware instead of on the host server
✅ Reduced downtime needed for Azure host infrastructure updates which get executed directly onto the Azure Boost hardware with minimal impact to VMs on the host servers.
Azure Boost is a new system that offloads #virtualization processes traditionally performed by the hypervisor and host OS onto purpose-built hardware and software, such as networking, storage, and host management.
By separating hypervisor and host OS functions from the host infrastructure, Azure Boost enables greater network and storage #performance at scale, improves #security by adding another layer of logical isolation, and reduces the maintenance impact for future Azure software and hardware upgrades.
