#MICROSOFT DYNAMICS HOSTED SOFTWARE#
When customers choose to move their Microsoft Dynamics AX solution to the Microsoft Azure cloud they use their existing software assurance or Windows Server licencing such as SQL and Operating System OS’s. Once a solution is deployed, monitoring the used CPU and Memory used can highlight if Virtual Machine sizes can be changed to reduce cost. This can make sure that dependant services are available before other services start, such as the SQL server service needs to be up before the AOS services come online. This can be achieved simply in the Microsoft Azure Portal.Īlternatively, Microsoft Azure automation can be configured to automatically start and stop Virtual Machine instances. To understand the cost of a Microsoft Dynamics AX solution in Microsoft Azure, where other environments are deployed, resource tagging provides a great way to view how much the solution costs.Īutomatic shutdown of Virtual Machines is a great way of saving cost for Development, Test and Acceptance environments in Microsoft Azure. These insights also provide a burn rate so that you can predict the cost of the solution allowing for any tweaks to the spend. The Microsoft Azure portal provides the current costing of the subscription/s in use. Once you’ve added your machines and other items, cost estimates can be made. When planning a move to Microsoft Azure the Azure calculator will provide cost estimates of an Dynamics AX environment whether it’s Development, Test, Acceptance or Production. To control costs, you need to understand where the money is or will be spent. This blog will explore some of the ways in which Dynamics AX on the Microsoft Azure platform can be run cost effectively.Ī standard Dynamics AX solution, often referred to as DTAP (Development, Test, Acceptance and Production), may consist of the following roles: AOS Server/s, SQL Server/s, Remote Desktop Services. Controlling costs when running Dynamics AX on Azure can be done in many ways. One of the common considerations is cost optimisation.
