Microsoft has
released a new Azure Total Cost Ownership (TCO) Calculator. This calculator allows you to quickly enter in your current on-premises workload and review the expected savings or costs of moving to Azure.
Workloads You simply enter in your current server, database, storage and network usage. I've put together a simple example environment of a few applications and web servers speaking to a database backend with a small HDD SAN and an overpowered network.
Graph showing Azure Savings[/caption] There are several detailed cost calculations below the heading which can help prove your argument (if you're arguing for Azure). Overall, I think this is a great starting point for anyone wondering if the savings are really worth the effort of migrating. The default calculations show that even a relatively small environment can save considerable amounts of money by moving to a public cloud. What do you think? Any issues with the assumptions or calculations?
- 5 VMware Windows Servers with 8 cores and 64 GB of RAM
- 1 SQL Server Instance on VMWare Windows with 16 cores and 128 GB of RAM
- 12 TB of HDD SAN
- A 10 GB Network
