Our automated provisioning process is now able to leverage Premium Storage, a high-demand feature that offers you high performance storage to store user profile data and session hosts’ OS disks. Premium Storage may be automatically selected based on your deployment size and the number of users, but you still have the freedom to customize this option to meet your needs.
Azure Premium Storage delivers high-performance, low-latency disk support for virtual machines running I/O-intensive workloads. Simply put, Premium Storage allows you to run a variety of performance intensive database workloads, such as SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis. It is also recommended for enterprise applications, such as Dynamics AX, Dynamics CRM, and SharePoint Farms, which require consistent high performance and low latency in the cloud.
An Azure virtual machine supports attaching several Premium Storage disks, enabling up to 64 TB of storage per VM. With Premium Storage, your applications can achieve 80,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second) per VM and 2000 MB per second disk throughput per VM with extremely low latencies for read operations.
The provisioning process of Basic RDS, Basic Remote App, Standard RDS and Standard RemoteApp will ask two additional questions:
These two options will be automatically assigned based on the deployment type and the number of users, following our best RDS practices. Please remember that even though we may suggest Premium storage, you can adjust these settings to meet your deployment requirements.

Please note that this feature won’t impact existing deployments, any existing deployment that requires the use of Azure Premium Storage will be handled as a migration via a support request. Please open a support ticket and we will follow up with a timeframe for migrating your workload.
