Azure Files &File Sync Redesign

The hybrid file services topology redesigned around Azure Files and File Sync, so cloud and on-premises file access resolve to one authoritative data set.

Hybrid file services need a clear answer to where the authoritative copy lives and how it reaches each site. The existing topology needed to be reworked to make that relationship explicit.

• 01Azure Files as the cloud file service layer.
• 02Azure File Sync connecting on-premises file servers to the cloud share.
• 03Sync topology designed around site access patterns.
• 04Storage tiering considered alongside cost governance.

• Redesigned the hybrid storage topology around Azure Files and File Sync.
• Configured sync relationships between on-premises servers and the cloud share.
• Aligned the design with backup and cost optimisation practice.

Hybrid file services run on a redesigned topology with a clear authoritative data set across cloud and on-premises access.
