Microsoft to reduce Azure cloud storage price to 14 cents

Microsoft has lowered the price of its azure cloud storage by a penny, and the Azure cloud storage (per GB14 cents) will be competitively priced with Amazon S3 after the price cut.

The new price applies primarily to azure BLOBs and table storage, but it is not the same as Amazon in usage mode. Microsoft's pricing strategy is based on total capacity fees, while Amazon is a step-by. In other words, Amazon's strategy is that the next block of data will begin to calculate the price in a new and lower billing mode after the user has used the limit for a given capacity.

Microsoft will be closer to Amazon S3 's new pricing strategy, but it will still look a little pricey.

For example, the cost of storing TB in Amazon S3 for US users is about $55000 a month, while Microsoft will charge users 56000 dollars a month.

In fact, Azure users with 1PB to 5PB capacity can get a 39.3% discount on a 14 cent per gigabyte basis, which costs 8.5 cents per gigabyte.

Customers with more than 5 PB storage requirements can contact Microsoft for pricing separately.
