The company I work for has 4 virtual servers that are used for various things that are hosted by our IT service in their datacenter. I'm just trying to find out what kind of services and pricing it would be to have these hosted by Azure assuming all of the specs are exactly what we need.

----------

Primary domain controller for users to sign into our network:

  • Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition
  • 127 GBs (C)
  • 9 GBs of RAM
  • 4 virtual CPUs

----------

File Share/Printer Server:

  • Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition
  • 127 GBs (C), 2050 GBs (F)
  • 4 GBs of RAM
  • 4 virtual CPUs

----------

Remote desktop for users to access our point of sale(~15-20 users accessing it at a time):

  • Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition
  • 256 GBs (C)
  • 64 GBs of RAM
  • 8 virtual CPUs

----------

Server for hosting the database that our point of sale interfaces with:

  • Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition
  • 127 GBs (C)
  • 9 GBs of RAM
  • 4 virtual CPUs

----------

Originally when we moved everything to our IT support's datacenter, they told us that Azure just wasn't going to be way too expensive, but just wanted to get an estimate if I can.

Thank you in advance!

    Hello,

    The best option would be to use the pricing calculator for Azure

    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

    If you are not very confident with Azure product and infrastructure varieties and plans, which may be a bit overwhelming at the beginning, you can reach a Microsoft Azure Partner for more details or request a pricing:

    Hi,

    You can try to deploy all of these resources as Azure Virtual Machine or you can use Azure Dedicated host if you need are looking for more security.

    Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/dedicated-hosts

    Pricing differs from region to region and size by size. Please refer Pricing Calculator : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

    Divya
