A company wants to compare the cost of running its existing on-premises servers against equivalent Azure infrastructure to build a migration business case. Which tool is designed for this comparison?
A.Azure Pricing Calculator
Pricing Calculator estimates Azure-side costs but doesn't compare against your current datacenter.
B.Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator
TCO Calculator = on-prem vs Azure comparison. Correct.
C.Azure Monitor
Monitor collects telemetry, not cost comparisons.
D.Azure Policy
Policy enforces governance rules.
Why this answer
The TCO Calculator takes your current on-premises workloads and produces a comparison report against Azure — the migration business-case tool. Pricing Calculator estimates Azure costs but doesn't model your existing on-prem environment.
