Device Management and Deployment

I want to create an Azure Table and Blob Storage to connect BRAdmin Professional 4 and Microsoft Azure.

NOTE:

To connect BRAdmin Professional 4 and Microsoft Azure, you need a Microsoft Azure account. If you do not have a Microsoft Azure account, open a new account first.

This procedure may change if the software is updated by Microsoft™.
For the latest information, visit the Microsoft Azure website.
