General availability large volumes breakthrough mode
September 24, 2026
Azure NetApp Files large volumes breakthrough mode is now generally available (GA) in Azure NetApp Files regions where dedicated capacity is ordered and provisioned for you. Designed for extreme-scale workloads, breakthrough mode enables higher throughput, greater concurrency, and low-latency access beyond the capabilities of standard large volumes. By leveraging six parallel storage endpoints on dedicated capacity, breakthrough mode can deliver up to 80 GiB/s throughput per volume while supporting petabyte-scale datasets and billions of files. This capability is ideal for high-performance computing (HPC), electronic design automation (EDA), AI/ML data pipelines, and other metadata-intensive workloads requiring predictable, isolated performance at scale.
