EIS includes bandwidth free of charge.
Note the 3 new tiers of storage which have different rates: HDD (spinning hard disk), SSD (solid state disk) and iSCSI (iSCSI attached block storage).
The type of storage allocated can be selected when virtual machines are created (note: iSCSI storage must be arranged by special request and cannot be selected as an option).
