# Azure Storage Recommendations Not Showing ## Likely Reasons Storage Recommendations Aren't Showing **Reason 1: Native Reservations Already Covering Storage Spend** The customer already has native reservations covering this storage or backup spend. Check their commitment inventory first before moving to the next reason. **Reason 2: Insufficient Storage Spend** The customer's storage or backup spend is not enough for the recommender to surface commitments. The minimum capacity to procure a reservation for storage or backup is **100TB**. You can find the customer's storage spend in Infrastructure Inventory and calculate the GB/hr metric over a 30-day timeframe to arrive at their rough monthly usage. ## Important Notes on Minimum Capacity ### Azure Storage Service The 100TB minimum is applicable to a particular tier (Hot, Cool). You **cannot** aggregate 60TB of Hot and 40TB of Cool in order to procure a 100TB Azure backup reservation. ### Azure Backup Service The 100TB minimum is applicable to a particular redundancy type. ## Related Resources * [Does Archera for Azure rely on Microsoft Azure Exchanges or Returns policy?](/help-center/azure-onboarding/other-faq/exchanges-returns-policy.md) * [What does Azure RI 'Instance Size Flexibility' mean and how does it work?](/help-center/azure-onboarding/other-faq/instance-size-flexibility.md) * [Does Archera Support Reservations for Azure Storage Disks?](/help-center/azure-onboarding/services-supported/storage-disks.md) * [Azure Offboarding](/help-center/azure-onboarding/offboarding/offboarding.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
