Comparative analysis of Microsoft Azure and IDC Room

these days to meet the fast-fix customers out of some demon moth, suddenly want us to provide a version The comparison between Azure and IDC room, and then to do some sorting, as follows:

Basic comparison between Azure and IDC

IDC Deployment	Microsoft Azure Deployment
Span style= "FONT-SIZE:12PX;" >- fixed it resource input, unable to flexibly change it resource size as needed - unable to pay on demand based on usage, is a fixed fee Span style= "FONT-SIZE:12PX;" >	Span style= "FONT-SIZE:12PX;" > also provides virtual machine-hosted IaaS services and PAAs platforms that support the deployment of new cloud application development - - Users pay for actual it resource usage
very limited service guaranteed Enterprise Service platform No financially guaranteed SLA, no real user care calculations, SLA for services such as storage	Enterprise Cloud Platform Enterprise-ready cloud service platform with Financial Assurance Service Level Assurance Agreement (SLA) and corresponding enterprise service support
Various standards of the computer room, hardware and software needs user investment all hardware and software investment needs the user, no loadbalance, firewall, anti-DDoS attack system	High standard room and hardware and software configuration T4 Room, data center Gigabit Interconnect, Load Balance, firewall, anti-DDoS attack
No offsite data center provides offsite disaster preparedness	Remote Data center synchronization and disaster preparedness Providing better reliability and high availability services through two data centers in Beijing, Shanghai
Two or three levels of Internet access, away from the backbone of the network	The best Internet access and data center location Shanghai and Beijing, high bandwidth, low latency, 1 jump into the backbone network
Single Carrier internet access	Internet access for multiple carriers China Telecom, China Mobile, Unicom
No CDN Service Requires users to directly search for third-party CDN providers	The best CDN Service Over 700 of the cloth points
Higher cost, lower ROI, poorer service	Lower costs, higher ROI, better service

Operation and Maintenance comparison

How to respond

IDC : In addition to the basic hardware facilities (air-conditioning, power, extranet export, etc.), all others require enterprise IT personnel to run their own dimension, encountered the need to enter IDC for operations, it is necessary to submit an OPS person's identity as early as one day ID , to a large extent, affects emergencies.

Microsoft Azure : 7 * on-line operation and maintenance, Infrastructure provides financial assurance of Service level guarantee Agreement ( SLA )

Hardware upgrades

IDC: Corporate IT need to plan a complete upgrade plan, any risk may lead to system outage and business downtime, complex upgrade process resulting in a lengthy upgrade cycle

Azure : Enterprise IT no need to care about hardware upgrade issues, we will be early in each upgrade 2 Week to notify users of the point in time of upgrade.

Comparison of disaster preparedness schemes

	IDC disaster preparedness
data replication	through storage or third-party replication software	via Site replication or third-party replication software
virtualization	user or find another vendor deployment, operational virtualization Environment	Microsoft provides and operations for the entire virtualized environment
network design	complex network design, need to meet the needs of production, replication, monitoring network. Different network devices have different management interfaces and methods, very high management costs	via sdn define system network, One interface manages all networks and information
deployment cycle	2 months to 6 Span lang= "ZH-CN" xml:lang= "ZH-CN" and months of deployment cycle	thoughtful 1 months of deployment cycle
Data retention	Each site has only one copy of the data, additional copies require additional hardware and software costs	azure at least automatically retain 3 data copies, up to 6 Span lang= "ZH-CN" xml:lang= "ZH-CN" to a data copy for 2 1200 km); also 2 Azure between sites through 2 10g
flexibility when business increases	need to re-purchase leasing cabinets and hardware and software that cannot meet fast business requirements, such as temporary promotions	direct Added azure Service, without any process, within the shortest time to complete the deployment of
flexibility when business is reduced (end of campaign)	idle all new hardware, wait for the next promotion	Close all promotional services required to end additional cost expenditures
Network Level failover	need to buy Internet Network transfer devices, complex configuration and operations, high cost	through Azure Traffic Manage for fast network-level failover
