Hey Guys,

How much is a FortiAnalyzer in Azure running you monthly to maintain? I am half tempted to make the jump from appliance to that but I wanted to wrap my head around those particular costs first.

How do you guys deploy it as well from a security and practice standpoint.

Hi Mike,

I'm trying FAZ on Azure for over a month.

I pay about 56€ in one month.

DS1 Standard v2 (1 core, 3.5 GB) + Premium_LRS 1TB

The major cost:

Compute Hours - EU West: ~34€

Premium Storage - Page Blob/P10 (Units) - EU West: ~14€

IP Address Hours - Public IP Addresses: ~2€

5GB of data transfer out are included (i used about 2.5GB in a mount, for access to console and monitor FGT)

My 24GB of data transfer in (log traffic from my FGT) are 0€

I do not know why, but AWS is slightly more expensive (~80€/month), because in the marketplace is not possible to have a equivalent VM to that available on Azure for FAZ.

From the point of view of security, I'm thinking the best solution.

Yeah, I was half tempted to grab a Azure license and throw it up. I know incoming traffic is free which is nice.

I would probably make it email me reports at a set interval and of course send alerts so I don't know. Was figuring I would ask haha.

Hi,

Can you guys let me know how much storage space are you using on azure?

FortiAnalyzer VM with 6 Gb subscription supports upto 3.5 TB storage but on Azure the maximum storage i can see is for D4 and D4_V2 which is 400GB of local storage only.
