Cost Estimator calculations
Amol Dalvi
The Cost Estimator makes some assumptions while calculating in-region backup costs -
- Storage type: LRS
- Backup frequency: daily
- Backup retention: 30 days
- Average space utilization on disk: 50% (assuming half of the space on all disks is actual data)
- Delta of data: 2% daily (2% of data changes on a daily basis)
|
While calculating the DR costs, the following assumptions are made:
- Every VM in the deployment is protected (protecting select VMs will reduce the cost)
- Not taking into account the first 31 days of ASR license being free (assume ASR license cost starts from day 1)
- ASR destination is another Azure region
- Using same storage in DR as in production (e.g. premium vs. standard and managed disks vs. unmanaged disks)
- No transaction costs for Standard storage are estimated
- ASR license cost (currently $25/month per instance) * (# of server VMs + # of desktop VMs)
- Storage cost of servers and desktops in production environment (excluding RDS Collection scale sets, which are created on demand)
