Cosmos DB Storage

Cosmos DB (former DocumentDB) storage is the premium offering for Azure Table Storage. It's a multimodel and globally distributed database service which is designed to horizontally scale and replicate your data to any number of Azure regions. By replicating and scaling the data, Cosmos DB can guarantee low latency, high availability, and high performance anywhere in the world. You can replicate or scale data easily inside the Azure Portal by selecting the available regions on the map.
