While trying to put together a comparison between Windows Azure Pack and Windows Azure, I ended up with a table listed below which doesn’t seem to be very useful. Instead let us see when would someone choose Windows Azure Pack Cloud installation on premise vs. onboarding simply to Windows Azure public cloud.
Some of the reasons to choose in-house Windows Azure Pack cloud for an enterprise are:
Windows Azure Pack Cloud
Windows Azure Cloud
Hardware
Yours
Microsoft's
HW Profiles
Customizable
Standard SKUs only
Software
Your Licenses
Most licenses included as long as you are provisioned
Location
Your premises
Microsoft Datacenters across the globe
Security
Full Control for You
Goes over the internet (!)
Management
Your IT
Microsoft
IT Administrator Portal
Yes
No
Self Service User Portal
Leverage existing in-house infrastructure investment
Custom Billing for your users
Central Usage Monitoring
Not Really. Without an administrator portal, hard to see resources utilized across divisions and teams.
Infrastructure Capacity Increase
Your schedule
Supposedly elastic, but limited by Microsoft's schedules
Scalability
Developer Experience
Consistent with Windows Azure
Consistent with Windows Azure Pack
Tools and APIs
Command line tools, Visual Studio Integration, Power Shell, REST APIS - consistent with Windows Azure Pack
White labeling
Target Audience
Enterprises and Hosting Service Providers
For anybody from Startup developers to SMBs to Enterprises. Compete for other hosting providers.
3rd Party Services
Portal is Extensible to include additional services
Azure Market place has some services, but portal is fixed.
Compliances
You maintain
Microsoft has some compliances met and continues to meet more of them
Supported Application Workload
Web, Database, Messaging
Available services
Virtual Machine
Database
Websites
Service Bus
Blob and Table Store
And much more…
Update Frequency
Less often as this is a box product.
At any point some service update keeps happening in a given data center.
SLA
If setup per recommendation at par with Windows Azure.
Each service has its SLA and refunds provided usually when not met.
Setup and Installation
Free download. Complex environments might take time to setup.
No setup needed, Azure is always ON
Microsoft strives to provide consistent User Interface experience between its public Windows Azure cloud and Windows Azure Pack cloud targeting enterprises and hosting services providers. Consistency is maintained not only in the UI, but at the API layer and tool sets work across both clouds.
Windows Azure has faster release cadence and much more rich set of services compared to Windows Azure Pack. Windows Azure evolves faster with market movement and new services keep popping up. Windows Azure Pack with its comparatively less number of services still delivers a stellar value add for enterprises planning to move out of traditional IT operations to modern enterprise cloud operations catering to the modern business and development needs. Windows Azure Pack helps enterprise IT to embrace the cloud, while still having control and insight.
