Azure ROI Calculator Updated for Azure 1.2

Neudesic's Azure ROI Calculator has been updated. You can get to the calculator and other useful Azure resources from http://neudesic.com/cloud.

The updated calculator reflects new features and pricing model changes added to the Windows Azure Platform in the 1.1 and 1.2 releases, including these:
  • Windows Azure Compute - VM Size
  • Windows Azure Content Delivery Service - added
  • SQL Azure Database - broader selection of databases sizes
  • AppFabric - Access Control Service revised pricing model
  • AppFabric - Service Bus revised pricing model / connection packs



Although there is a very comprehensive TCO tool available at http://azure.com/, Azure ROI Calculator is useful when you need to compute cloud charges or the ROI of a migration quickly.
