A hybrid file estate needs fast access to frequently used files on Windows Server while retaining a managed Azure cloud share. Which service fits?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Azure Backup file protection alone as an interactive synchronized cache
B.A direct Azure Files cloud share with no local caching layer

D.Azure File Sync with supported endpoints and cloud tiering

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Azure File Sync with supported endpoints and cloud tiering

File Sync synchronizes supported Windows endpoints with Azure Files and can retain hot files locally. A direct cloud share does not supply the requested local tiering/cache layer. Blob lifecycle tiers objects rather than synchronizing the Windows file cache; backup retains recovery points rather than acting as an interactive synchronized cache. Source guide: PDF page 26-27.
