Huge quantities of structured data are stored in the Windows Azure Table storage service.
It is a NoSQL service that takes calls from both inside and outside the Windows Azure cloud.
Table: A table is a grouping of objects. Tables do not impose a format on entities; therefore, a single table can contain entities with various sets of characteristics. Many tables can be found in a single account.
Entity: Similar to a database entry, an entity is a collection of attributes. A single entity can be 1MB in size.
Properties: A name-value pair is referred to as a property. Each object can have up to 252 properties. In addition, each entity has three system properties: a partition key, a row key, and a timestamp.
