Introduction
Examining IT total cost of ownership (TCO), the majority of IT spending, over 60% on average, is spent
on core operations - the basic task of keeping the lights on. This leaves a scant 18% of the budget
available for innovative investments such as new applications and services. 1
Analyzing spending vs. performance, those organizations
that reduce TCO and maximize innovative investments have
higher revenue and profitability performance. These top
performers spend significantly less on hardware, IT
administration and support labor and services, allocating
more spending on developing new applications and
innovative services.
A key opportunity for organizations is to leverage cloud
computing platform to help reduce the costs of application
development and IT services delivery, migrating the
spending from operations to innovation.
The Windows Azure Platform offers a simple, reliable, and
powerful platform for the creation of applications and services. The Windows Azure Platform enables
developers to focus on their business logic, as opposed to operational hurdles, in creating compelling
applications, and allows IT operations and administration staff to reduce keeping the lights on costs
by eliminating the need for investing significant resources in building and managing technology
infrastructure.
The Windows Azure Platform can:
1) Improve Efficiency and Drive Focus most organizations expend significant resources in
building and managing their own technology infrastructure. The Windows Azure Platform can
help organizations focus on whats most important, empowering IT management to deliver
services and value to customers, without having to focus precious financial, development and IT
resources on deploying, managing, and scaling technology infrastructure. With the Windows
Azure Platform, organizations dont have to worry about:
a. deploying, managing and scaling server, network, and storage infrastructure,
b. implementing fail-over / redundancy systems,
c. building and managing datacenter facilities,
d. management and monitoring systems,
e. building and managing Virtual Machines,
f. patching Operating Systems.
As a platform-as-a-service (PaaS), versus just an outsourced infrastructure as a service (IaaS),
the Windows Azure Platform delivers more to help reduce cost and drive focus on competitive
advantage and innovation. Organizations can consume the computing resources that they need
without having to invest the money, time, and effort in procuring and configuring infrastructure
that may never be consumed to its full potential.
2) Deliver Higher Performance and Availability the Windows Azure Platform delivers
worldwide, geographically distributed world-class datacenter, resources and platform that
dramatically exceeds in scalability, performance, availability, redundancy, best practices and
security what many organization can accomplish with their own resources.

3) Improve Agility - Enables IT management and development teams to respond quickly to
changes in business and customer needs.
a. Infrastructure can be quickly allocated to meet increasing traffic /
adoption
demands via simple request vs. having to scale traditional on-premises solutions by
procuring, installing, testing and delivering hardware, software, network, and storage
infrastructure.
b. Ability to take an idea to market faster.
c. Developers can use the rich and intuitive functionality offered by Visual Studio to quickly
and easily create their web services. The Web and Worker role as well as the SDK make it
easy to design new web services. Ability to scale up and down seamlessly without
complex operational procedures. Ability to upgrade my own service without taking it
down.
4) Help organizations balance flexibility and control the Windows Azure Platform empowers
organizations to select the best deployment model for applications whether hosted on their
own servers, hosted by a cloud provider or a combination of the two; helping developers and
service managers to combine on-premises and cloud resources to solve business problems.
Introducing Windows Azure Platform

What is the Windows Azure Platform?
The Windows Azure Platform is an internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data
centers, which provides an operating system and a set of developer services that can be used
individually or together. The Windows Azure Platforms flexible and interoperable platform can be used
to build new applications to run from the cloud or enhance existing applications with cloud-based
capabilities. Its open architecture gives developers the choice to build web applications, applications
running on connected devices, PCs, servers, or hybrid solutions offering the best of online and onpremises.
The Windows Azure Platform reduces the need for up-front technology purchases, and it enables
developers to quickly and easily create applications running in the cloud by using their existing skills
with the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment and the Microsoft .NET Framework. In
addition to managed code languages supported by .NET, the Windows Azure Platform will support more
programming languages and development environments in the near future. The Windows Azure
Platform simplifies maintaining and operating applications by providing on-demand compute and
storage to host, scale, and manage web and connected applications. Infrastructure management is
automated with a platform that is designed for high availability and dynamic scaling to match usage
needs with the option of a pay-as-you-go pricing model. The Windows Azure Platform provides an open,
standards-based and interoperable environment with support for multiple internet protocols, including
HTTP, REST, SOAP, and XML.
Microsoft also offers cloud applications ready for consumption by customers such as Windows Live,
Microsoft Dynamics, and other Microsoft Online Services for business such as Microsoft Exchange
Online and SharePoint Online. The Windows Azure Platform lets developers provide their own unique
customer offerings by providing the foundational components of compute, storage, and building block
services to author and compose applications in the cloud.

Microsoft SQL Azure
Microsoft SQL Azure extends the capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server into the cloud as a Web-based,
distributed relational database. It provides Web services that enable relational queries, search, and
data synchronization with mobile users, remote offices and business partners. It can store and retrieve
structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
Microsoft AppFabric
Microsoft AppFabric is a set of Microsoft-hosted, highly scalable, developer-oriented services that
provide key building blocks required by many cloud-based and cloud-aware applications. Much like
the .NET Framework provides higher-level class libraries that make developers more productive,
AppFabric enables a developer to focus on their application logic rather than building and deploying
their own cloud-based infrastructure services.
Page 4

Access Control
The Microsoft AppFabric Access Control Service provides an easy way to control web applications and
services while integrating with standards-based identity providers, including enterprise directories and
web identity systems such as Windows Live ID. Authorization decisions can be pulled out of the
application and into a set of declarative rules that can transform incoming security claims into claims
that applications understand.
Service Bus
The Microsoft AppFabric Service Bus makes it easy to connect applications together over the Internet.
Services that register on the Bus can easily be discovered and accessed, across any network topology.
The Service Bus provides the familiar Enterprise Service Bus application pattern, while helping to solve
some of the hard issues that arise when implementing this pattern across network, security, and
organizational boundaries, at Internet-scale.
How the Windows Azure Platform Delivers Savings

In steady growth environments, on-premises or traditional hosted capacity is purchased based on
forecasts where capacity is purchased ahead of time to support predicted workload/growth. These
environments are typically 40-60% over-provisioned initially, and as growth occurs, additional capacity
is added in similar over-provisioned fashion. In virtualized environments capacity can be added by
managing virtual machine / physical server allocations to help reduce the amount of over-provisioning,
but most environments have not implemented automatic dynamic workload management, requiring
management intervention and still leading to 20% or more under-utilization of assets. The overprovisioning comes with initial capital cost, as well as on-going operational expenses, leading to higher
total cost of ownership (TCO).
As growth is monitored, unpredictable spikes in growth are not immediately handled, causing short
term service level issues. When spikes occur, emergency provisioning often occurs to be sure future
spikes are handled, but often just leads to additional headroom requirements and further overprovisioning.
With the Windows Azure Platform, additional capacity can be better matched and allocated to support
monitored workloads, substantially reducing the amount of over-provisioning.
When workloads decline from predictions, capacity can be reduced to lower costs. When workloads
increase dramatically, additional capacity can be quickly and dynamically allocated to handle increased
computing demands, adding just what is needed, and then de-allocating when not needed.
Page 5

With the Windows Azure Platform, actual capacity requirements can be more precisely matched against
capacity purchased to dramatically reduce total cost of ownership.
In environments with predictable demand spikes or scheduled workloads / applications, on-premises

solutions are most often purchased based on peak requirements. When not in use, the computing
capacity often sits idle. This leads to dramatic underutilization of the assets and unnecessary capital
investment / on-going management and support costs.
Sometimes this peak capacity can be utilized by other virtualized applications, moving demand to
utilize the idle capacity. In this manner, utilization can be improved, but in practice the management
overhead in non-fully automated environments leads to these resources sitting idle.
If peak capacity varies or grows, the on-premises environment is over-provisioned to handle the growth
in peak demand, making the return on assets that much worse, and leading to even higher total cost of
ownership.
With the Windows Azure Platform, additional capacity can be allocated on a scheduled basis to
precisely match the needs of the predictable demand spike or scheduled application.
Page 6

When demand spikes are not present, or the application computing power is not needed, the Windows
Azure Platform capacity can be turned off to reduce costs. When demand spikes occur and the
application computing power is needed, the capacity can be dynamically allocated to meet the exact
requirements.
With the Windows Azure Platform, actual capacity requirements can be more precisely matched against
capacity purchased to dramatically reduce total cost of ownership.

The Windows Azure Platform vs. On-Premises

The Windows Azure Platform can help reduce the total cost of ownership compared to on-premises
solutions:
Cost Category
Capacity Planning
On-Premises
In most datacenters, servers are under-utilized,
over-provisioned to support perceived needs and
promised service levels.
Windows Azure
Computing is purchased on demand based on
actual need and workload. Anytime more
performance is needed, or a new service is
launched, Windows Azure instances can be
quickly and easily allocated. Dynamic scaling
and on demand capacity drives lower TCO.
Server hardware (including failover /
redundancy), software (including operating
system, virtualization, systems and backup
management) and related annual support
/maintenance contracts can be eliminated.
Storage
Most datacenters need to procure SAN, NAS or

DAS storage to support applications.
In traditional on-premises environments, storage
is purchased ahead of time to support maximum
capacity projections and growth. As a result, an
average of 60% of storage is over-provisioned /
un-utilized (Alinean 2009).
For many applications, storage grows over time,
increasing the required capital investment to not
only include additional drive capacity, but often
a costly re-architecture in order to meet
performance and availability needs.
Windows Azure includes highly scalable /

available / durable storage infrastructure ondemand.
Storage hardware, software purchases and
related support and maintenance contracts can
be eliminated. This includes elimination of data
mirroring, backup software, libraries, media,
and media services (off-site media storage).
Highly available / performance storage solutions

such as mid-range / high end SANs often include
expensive hardware and software to manage
copies, mirroring and performance.
Database Servers and
Software
Database servers and software can be an

expensive investment for most organizations.
Investments are often underutilized and overprovisioned.
SQL Azure is an extremely cost effective

solution that includes Microsoft SQL database
licenses and storage.
Database server hardware (including failover /
redundancy), software license purchases for
Page 12

Microsoft SQL and database server, OS licenses,
and systems management licenses, as well as
related annual support /maintenance contracts
can be eliminated.
Networking

Virtualization and
Server Management
Development and
Test Environment
Redundancy
For on-premises solutions, a networking

infrastructure needs to be procured and
installed. Networking devices are often
redundant, doubling the necessary investment.
As traffic grows often this infrastructure needs to
be re-scaled.
Investments are often made in acceleration
services / software to scale effectively.
System monitoring and management tools need
to be procured and implemented to monitor
performance, availability, performance, security
and configurations. This includes management
of servers, applications, security, network and
storage.
To achieve better utilization and reduced costs,

most organizations are implementing virtualized
infrastructures. These environments often
require an investment in additional management
tools, and an improvement in capability and
maturity to effectively manage.
Development and test require systems that

mirror / resemble deployment systems. This
requires additional hardware, software, storage
and other infrastructure investments, as well as
provisioning and administration management.
Most organizations require redundant web

servers and failover for database servers.
Windows Azure includes redundant and best

practices managed networking infrastructure.
Networking hardware (including failover /
redundancy), management services, and
annual support /maintenance contracts can be
eliminated.
Windows Azure host systems are monitored and
managed using world-class best practices as an
integral part of the service, with no additional
cost or investment needed.
Systems monitoring is part of the infrastructure
and automated so the user does not have to
the extra work. Annual support maintenance
contracts are thus eliminated.
Windows Azure does not require any
incremental investment in tools to help manage
a virtualized environment. Best practices are
already maximized integral to the service to
seamlessly manage physical devices and virtual
machines.
Automated service management helps in
reducing costs.
Windows Azure allows developers and testers to
self-provision workspaces during development
lifecycles on demand.
Need to provision additional servers, network,
storage and software to support development,
test and staging environments is eliminated.
Windows Azure provides fail-over / redundancy
support to assure service levels without adding
management cost.
Eliminates need for redundant hardware and
failover / mirroring / redundancy software
investments.
Disaster Recovery
Sites
Any data center supporting high available

applications requires a disaster recovery site or
service to support operations should a disaster
strike the primary datacenter. These redundant
sites are expensive to establish and support.
Windows Azure provides worldwide disaster

recovery sites for data redundancy.
Spares
In any substantial datacenter or highly available

operation, standby systems and spares are a
requirement.
With Windows Azure, no standby systems or

spares need to be purchased. Windows Azure
operations take care of all infrastructure and
service levels are assured.
Spares no longer need to be purchased.
Datacenter Facilities
New datacenters are expensive to build and

maintain.
With Windows Azure, the investment in the

datacenter is not needed.
Existing datacenters can be reclaimed for other

operations to avoid space costs.
The need for datacenter facilities space to

support these applications is eliminated freeing
up the space for other uses, or eliminating the
need to add additional facilities in expanding
environments.
Power and Cooling
On-premises datacenter servers, storage and

network devices need to be powered and cooled.
With Windows Azure, the direct cost to power

and cooling the datacenter is factored into the
unit price per instance.
Server
Administration
Servers require internal labor or managed

services to assure that assets are properly
installed, configured and optimize. These tasks
Windows Azure is a platform as a service,

helping to not only eliminate the need to
manage physical server install and changes,
Page 13

include managing physical server installs and
changes, operating system installs and patches,
virtualization management, security
management, systems monitoring and
configuration.
but more importantly, avoidance of time

consuming operations tasks including change,

Network devices and connectivity also need to

be managed by internal resources or managed
services providers, particularly network setup
and configuration, change management, tools
management, performance monitoring,
availability, optimization, and security.
Windows Azure includes a completely managed,

optimized and highly available networking
infrastructure as part of the services.
Storage needs to be managed to assure that

data is available, high performance, recoverable
and secure. Storage growth is a given with most
applications and IT is taxed with not only adding
storage when needed, but often reengineering
the storage and DR architecture to support
growth.
Bandwidth providers need to be managed. For
global operations, this can include multiple
vendors. When an issue occurs, obtaining
support can often be difficult.
Windows Azure provides a full managed high

performance / availability storage
infrastructure.
Security issues including preventing network

intrusion, viruses, and data security are difficult
and expensive to manage. Platforms need to be
managed and constantly patched to help secure
them from vulnerabilities.
Windows Azure provides best practices security

Additional Benefits of the Windows Azure Platform

The Windows Azure Platform can deliver significant additional benefits (some of which are significant,
but more difficult to accurately quantify) compared to an on-premises solutions:
Improved Agility and Time to Market with a physical infrastructure to manage, or locked in
dedicated server hosting contracts, handling changing business requirements can be a
challenge compared to a pure on-demand solution such as the Windows Azure Platform. With
the Windows Azure Platform the team can in a matter of minutes setup and deliver new
applications or services, scale to meet demand spikes, or reconfigure the services to meet
changing business needs all without having to reconfigure or change a physical infrastructure.
This can help the team drive launch more quickly new revenue generating applications, deliver
new business services more quickly and meet changing demands instantly. Developers can
develop applications for the Windows Azure Platform using the rich and intuitive functionality
offered by Visual Studio that they are already familiar with. Ability to scale up and down
seamlessly without complex operational procedures. Ability to upgrade my own service without
taking it down.
Higher Availability / Service Levels the Windows Azure Platform has guaranteed service
levels for performance and availability. Achieving these service levels for a cost effective cost
per month versus the substantial investment it would take to achieve similar performance,
scalability, redundancy, disaster recovery and availability with on-premises solutions. This is
achieved through best practices failover, mirroring, snapshots, backup and recovery,
redundancy of systems, redundancy of datacenters, and monitoring.
Improve Security the Windows Azure Platform provides best practice physical security
including biometrics / layered access to datacenter facilities, as well as multiple layers of
security built into the platform itself.
Better Focus on Innovation many organizations would like to do more, but are resource
constrained as to how many new applications can be launched in a given quarter or year, and
how much new technology and innovation to take advantage of. Many organizations report that
limitations in staff prevent the development, test and launch of new applications, proper
evolution and maintenance of existing applications, further virtualization of the datacenter, and
launch of new services / business models such as SaaS. With the Windows Azure Platform, the
organization does not have to spend precious resources on installing, configuring, managing,
optimizing and supporting the servers and infrastructure, freeing up time to work with business
groups and development on innovative projects and to launch / deliver more applications to
users, partners and customers.
Faster Path to Software as a Service (SaaS) Offerings The Windows Azure Platform
provides a simple mechanism for developers and businesses to utilize the cloud in meeting
customer needs, providing a faster path to SaaS offerings. The Windows Azure Platforms
business model enables ISVs to move from traditional software license sales, to more quickly
adopt and properly deliver upon the software as a service business model. The services
platform can be used to deliver applications as a service, or give new life to existing investments
- providing new capabilities to existing on-premises and Web applications. The Windows Azure
Platform can be integrated into existing applications or used to expose on-premises application
services to consumers, business partners, or other organizations.

Sources of Default Metrics

Default research / metrics used in this tool are as follows:
Costs for on-premises servers, storage and networking based on Alinean research 2009 using
publicly available retail pricing from HP and Dell (servers), EMC (storage) and Cisco (networking)
Costs for software licensing based on Microsoft retail prices as of August 26, 2009, including the
following sources:
o
o
o
Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Microsoft Windows Server 2008
Microsoft System Center 2007
IT administration, support and delivery management services for on-premises configuration are
based on IDC IO studies 2006, updated to reflect latest best practice averages, salaries and
burdened rate information by Alinean, 2009 (tuned for industry and location). IT administration
and support for the Windows Azure Platform were derived based on comparing tasks that could
be eliminated and reducing the staffing to account for outsourcing / automation.
Costs for facilities, power and cooling based on Alinean research 2009, and include US power
costs based on Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy, Electric Power
Monthly, July 2008, Table 5.6A and Figure 4, "2008 Year-to-Date Average Cost per kWh", Latest
Available Report can be found at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/epm.pdf, with
international power costs from
http://www.powerstandards.com/images/PSL_World_Map_Electricity_Prices.jpg
Migration costs for the Windows Azure Platform are based on profile and configuration using
metrics provided by Microsoft analyzing initial TAP customer experiences. Estimating these by
default is difficult and it is recommended that the assumptions for the Windows Azure Platform
migration, as with all assumptions, be reviewed and personalized to reflect your unique
requirements and costs.
All pricing for the Windows Azure Platform based on retail prices as of January 1, 2010
All competitive pricing and metrics are for comparison purposes only. As many factors contribute
to pricing, configurations and discounts, these figures should be used for guidance only. Alinean
provides these metrics as a guide only and does not warrant results. It is important to research
and enter your own unique configuration and pricing.
All pricing for the Windows Azure Platform is subject to change, and any pricing provided does
not represent a price quote. Please contact your Microsoft representative for more information.
