Public preview: Large volume breakthrough mode

Breakthrough mode in Azure NetApp Files enables extreme performance and scalability for demanding HPC and EDA workloads. It supports large volumes up to 2 PiB, delivering throughput up to 50 GiB/second, depending on workload characteristics. Breakthrough mode uses six storage endpoints for each large volume, ensuring consistent performance. Storage systems hosting breakthrough mode volumes are reserved for each customer to provide peak performance and not compete with other workloads. Key benefits include:

• High-capacity scaling for large-scale, latency-sensitive workloads
• Simplified network management with multiple storage endpoints per volume
• Dedicated capacity stamps to eliminate noisy neighbor interference and maintain predictable performance

This feature is supported in all regions that support large volumes. Breakthrough mode is currently in preview.
