Estimate: Azure Cost for Three Years Less Than a Single Year

I promised more on the Azure TCO tool. My friend Aaron over at www.smartdeploy.com took a look at the tool as SmartDeploy has some pretty heavy duty storage needs to enable its super efficient, delta technology Windows deployment features. Well, I’ll just quote Aaron:

“I’ve run through the TCO tool a couple times in a couple different scenarios. It gave me a great picture of the incredible value of Windows Azure. Having compared other commercial hosting options, the TCO tool gave us an idea of the cost savings possible by using Windows Azure. In fact, the tool’s 3 year estimate was much less than the cost of a single year of hosting with another provider.”
