What are some features of Azure Table Storage?
Allows you to store and query huge sets of structured, non-relational data. And as demand grows, your tables will scale-out. Scale-up without having to manually shard your dataset. The data is replicated three times within a region using geo-redundant storage. An entity has a limit of 1MB in size. Store data sets that do not require complex joins, foreign keys, or stored procedures, and can be denormalized for fast access. Table storage is used to store flexible data sets such as user data for web applications, device information, or other types of metadata the service requires. You can store any number of entities in a table, up to the storage account’s capacity limit.
Additional information: Azure Table Storage is a good choice for storing large amounts of semi-structured data that does not require complex querying.
