Storage Accounts
Cloud Storage Studio/e allows you to connect to one or more Azure Storage accounts simultaneously
so that you can browse the tables, queues & containers across multiple storage accounts together.
Furthermore you have an option of persisting the storage account information in Silverlight's isolated
storage so that you can connect to your storage account without inputting the account name & key
over and over again.
