Calculate cost savings with the TCO calculator
With its Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculation tool, Microsoft offers you a good way to check migration costs in advance. All costs incurred for servers, databases, storage and networking are taken into account. Above all, so-called cost drivers and hidden costs can also be determined in this way. This is how you proceed:
1) Describe infrastructure
To use the TCO calculator and get optimal results you need the data of your existing local infrastructure. By means of model calculation, an estimate of the current costs for supporting your applications is made. With the help of the calculator, you can better understand the individual cost factors that currently impact your applications. For example, this could be server hardware, licenses, energy usage, or labor.
2) Compare costs
The TCO calculator recommends a set of equivalent services in Azure that will support your applications. The analysis shows you individual cost items in Azure by estimate and compares them to your estimated on-premises spend. It shows which cost categories you can impact downward or even eliminate altogether if you move your workloads to the cloud.
3) Determine savings potential
The TCO calculator provides you with a customized business case. With this, you can justify the migration to Azure in a well-founded way. All scenarios can be customized so that your business model is accurately represented. You will then receive a detailed report that shows exactly how many costs you can save by migrating to Azure.
