I have a client that has Intelligent Indexing that does NOT want to put up a Hyper V server in their farm.
They do however have a contract with Microsoft on Azure. The client is concerned with the intensity of the disk activity by Intelligent Indexing as they are counting every 500,000,000ths of a penny.
HIs concern (quote)"
microsoft charges for storage transactions on top of everything else, and while it's not expensive: $.0020 per million transactions, I can imagine some applications out there would run up the bill.

"Any type of operation against the storage is counted as a transaction"
any estimates you can provide, ballpark or otherwise, would really help."
I have no idea how intensive Intelligent Indexing 2 is.
Any help appreciated.
