@Rajij Adding more information to the above response!

The StorSimple 8000 series is represented by either the 8100 or the 8600 physical, on-premises appliances and their cloud service components. StorSimple 8010 and 8020 virtual appliances are also covered in this migration guide. It's possible to migrate the data from either of these appliances to Azure file shares with optional Azure File Sync. Azure File Sync is the default and strategic long-term Azure service that replaces the StorSimple on-premises functionality.

Migrations to Azure file shares from StorSimple volumes via migration jobs in a StorSimple Data Manager resource are free of charge. Other costs might be incurred during and after a migration:

Azure File Sync is the default and strategic long-term Azure service that replaces the StorSimple on-premises functionality.

• Network egress: Your StorSimple files live in a storage account within a specific Azure region. If you provision the Azure file shares you migrate into a storage account that's located in the same Azure region, no egress cost will occur. You can move your files to a storage account in a different region as part of this migration. In that case, egress costs will apply to you.
• Azure file share transactions: When files are copied into an Azure file share (as part of a migration or outside of one), transaction costs apply as files and metadata are being written. As a best practice, start your Azure file share on the transaction optimized tier during the migration. Switch to your desired tier after the migration is finished. The following phases will call this out at the appropriate point.
• Change an Azure file share tier: Changing the tier of an Azure file share costs transactions. In most cases, it will be more cost efficient to follow the advice from the previous point.
• Storage cost: When this migration starts copying files into an Azure file share, storage is consumed and billed. Migrated backups will become Azure file share snapshots. File share snapshots only consume storage capacity for the differences they contain.
• StorSimple: Until you have a chance to deprovision the StorSimple devices and storage accounts, StorSimple cost for storage, backups, and appliances will continue to occur.
