Description

Azure Storage Mover now supports Blob container-to-Blob container data transfers, enabling customers to move data seamlessly across regions, subscriptions, and accounts with a fully managed experience.  

Customers can now use Azure Storage Mover to migrate data directly between Azure Blob containers with: 

  • Agentless, fully managed transfers—no infrastructure deployment required 
  • Support for large-scale parallel data movement, optimized for high throughput migrations 
  • Integrated job management, including progress tracking, resumability, and reliability controls across migrations. 
  • Support for both flat namespace (FNS) and hierarchical namespace (HNS) accounts  

Azure Storage Mover is optimized for high-throughput data transfer scenarios: 

  • Proven performance with multi-GB/s transfer speeds depending on workload characteristics and region topology  
  • Ability to handle large object counts and deep directory structures, enabling enterprise-grade migrations at scale  
  • Support for parallel job execution to maximize throughput across multiple workloads  

Getting started: 

Blob-to-Blob migrations can be configured directly in the Azure portal with just a few steps, allowing customers to quickly initiate transfers without deploying or managing infrastructure.
