Hi Greg, I did these calcs before seeing the calculator, and it pretty much confirmed my calcs for storage.
As a complete Azure newb, I'm assuming I have the following options.. 1. Virtual machine where I'd install company licensed versions of SQL, run IIS, and maybe some disk storage for files and SQL backups, etc Or 2. Web app service, SQL, storage for files etc. Is this correct?
