Windows Azure: si abbassano i prezzi
Dopo l’abbassamento dei costi di qualche mese fa, si riducono anche le tariffe di altri servizi.
Riporto testualmente:
- Reduced price for data transfers:
- 0.0852 € per GB for outbound data transfers for Zone 1 (Europe and North America)
- 0.1348 € per GB for outbound data transfers for Zone 2 (all other locations)
- Service Bus is free for a promotional period:
- Service Bus is migrating to a new billing model based on relay hours and messages. To help customers get a feel for this new model, Service Bus is offered at no charge (except for standard data transfer fees) for billing months beginning before April 1, 2012.
- For billing periods beginning on or after April 1, 2012, Service Bus will be charged as follows:
- 0.0710 € per 100 relay hours
- 0.0071 € per 10,000 messages
- Access Control’s period of free service has been extended:
- Access Control’s period of free service has been extended through November 30, 2012.
- For billing periods beginning on or after December 1, 2012, Access Control will be charged at 1.4114 € per 100,000 transactions.
- SQL Azure database size limit increased to 150 GB:
- Size limit on a SQL Azure Business Edition database has increased from 50 GB to 150 GB.
- Maximum charge for an individual database remains unchanged and is capped at 354.5646 € per billing month.
The SQL Azure Business Edition cap of 354.5646 € per database per month is based on the accumulated charges for the entire billing month for each database.
Our billing cap allows you to scale your database from 50 GB to 150 GB at no additional charge, which lowers the effective price for larger volumes. For example, a customer who uses a 150 GB database for an entire billing month will see an effective price drop of 67%.
