Which Cloud Storage Option Is Best for Backup?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure have aggressive cloud storage pricing. However, they can be complicated and unpredictable to price for cloud backup and recovery. Use this calculator to see true costs and compare them with Unitrends Forever Cloud – purpose-built cloud storage with low, predictable pricing.

Azure performance and compute costs for optimized performance settings
Amazon AWS cost assumptions for different methods of data transfer and compression
Notes:
1. Standard Cloud Storage refers to the utilization of non-optimized compression and performance on cloud infrastructures. The Basic storage default compression ratio is 10%.
2. Optimized Cloud Storage refers to the higher class of storage and performance servers available on cloud infrastructures. The Optimized storage default compression ratio is 50%.
Actual Calculations Used :
Amazon Cloud Basic cost =( AWSBasicCost per TB * Calculated Storage Basic Compression ) + ( AWS Retrieval Cost TB * CalculatedDataRetrieved );
Azure Cloud Basic Cost= (Calculated Storage Basic Compression * Azure Basic Cost TB ) + ( Azure Retreival Basic Cost TB * Calculated Data Retrieved ) + ( Azure Data Write Cost TB * Calculated Storage Basic Compression)) ;
Amazon Cloud Optimized Cost= (Calculated Storage Optimized Compression*AWSOptCostTB)+ (AWS Retrieval Cost TB * Calculated Data Retrieved )+ AWS Cloud Compute Cost per instance;
Azure Cloud Optimized Cost= (Azure Opt Cost TB*Calculated Storage Optimized Compression) + (Azure RetreivalOptimized Cost TB * Calculated Data Retrieved) + Azure Compute Annual Cost Instance ;
