Cloud deployment reference configurations
The tables below describe reference configurations for deployments to Microsoft Azure. These configurations are based on QoreStor images available in the Azure Marketplace. Configurations are described for Cloud deployment mode and Standard mode. Large mode is not recommended for deployment in the cloud due to the intensive resource consumption.
QoreStor Tier 1 configurations
The following are the recommended VM instances validated for Tier 1 configurations. These configurations have an expected performance rate between 1.5 TiB/Hr and 2.5 TiB/Hr (measured for a 90 % dedupe ingest data).

|
NOTE: These images are currently available only with QoreStor 5.0.1. Once configured, you may upgrade to the latest version of QoreStor using the normal upgrade process. |
