Support for Azure Blob storage connector

The Blob storage connector enables you to use cloud storage as a tier to manage your storage needs with agility and flexibility. You can build a hybrid storage environment that seamlessly integrates local on-premise storage with cloud storage. With the added support for Blob connector, Veritas InfoScale supports the ability to migrate data from on-premise storage to cloud storage.
