Liferay DXP 7.4 Integration with Azure Blob Storage for Efficient Cloud-Based File Management
Liferay DXP 7.4 supports integration with Azure Blob Storage for storing and managing files in the cloud. This integration allows users to take advantages of the scalability and durability of Azure Blob Storage while using Liferay DXP as their content management system.
Azure Blob Storage is a cloud-based object storage service offered by Microsoft Azure. It is designed to store large amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data, including documents, images, videos, and other types of files. Blob Storage provides a scalable and highly available storage infrastructure that can be accessed from anywhere in the world using HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
With Azure Blob Storage integration, users can configure Liferay DXP to automatically store files in the cloud, and easily retrieve them as needed. This eliminates the need for local file storage and provides a more efficient and scalable solution for managing large amounts of data. (The maximum size of a single block blob is 5 terabytes (TB). However, for optimal upload performance, it's recommended to break files into smaller chunks, with each chunk being uploaded as a separate block.)
With Blob Storage, users can easily store and retrieve data from the cloud, and take advantage of features such as tiered storage, automatic data replication, and integration with other Azure services. Blob Storage also provides several security features, including encryption, access control, and secure transfer protocols, to ensure the safety and privacy of data stored in the cloud.
