title: Storing binary data (images, files, etc) using WPF + Windows Azure
body: <p>I have a WPF application that uses Windows Azure as the backend. I use SQL Azure to store data that are accessed by the WPF application through a WCF service. I need to be able to store binary files (e.g. images) server-side and wonder what the best way to store these files are. I can put the files in the SQL database but I'm not sure if this is recommended. Lets assume about 2000 files are to stored (total size of ~1GB). These files are accessed frequently (preferably cached on the client).</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? </p>
