 Azure NetApp Files supports five service levels: *Elastic*, *Flexible*, *Standard*, *Premium*, and *Ultra*. 
 
-The Elastic service level isn't bare-metal flash and is based on Azure infrastructure. 
+The Flexible, Standard, Premium, and Ultra service levels deliver in‑Azure bare‑metal flash performance. The Elastic service level runs on Azure infrastructure and provides built‑in zonal redundancy with low single‑digit millisecond latency.
 
 * **Elastic service level (preview)**:
     Elastic is an advanced, high-availability service level designed to deliver continuous data access with zero data loss even if an entire Azure Availability Zone becomes unavailable. This service eliminates single points of failure, making it ideal for mission-critical workloads that require uncompromising resilience and in-region data protection.

 Azure NetApp Files Elastic zone-redundant storage is a high-availability storage service level for Azure NetApp Files that synchronously replicates your data across multiple Azure Availability Zones in a single region. This means if one zone experiences an outage, your data and applications remain available from the other zones with zero data loss. Azure NetApp Files Elastic zone-redundant storage delivers similar enterprise-grade features as other Azure NetApp Files service levels (support for NFSv3, NFSv4.1, SMB, snapshots, clones, encryption, backup) but with built-in multi-availability zone redundancy. It eliminates single points of failure, ensuring continuous data access even during an entire zone outage.
