title: Azure Virtual Machine vs dedicated server
body: <p>I need to provide a desktop application up to 10 users. This application is a ERP, basically database mining and reporting.
  I will use Windows Server to offer support to concurrent users via Remote Desktop Connection.</p>
  
  <p>Do somebody have experience comparing the performance between Azure Virtual Machine and a dedicated server?</p>
  
  <p>At the present, I use Azure, but changing the settings to a powerful machine does not seem to affect to the time to generate reports, specially when the application needs to read the database or load the dlls for first . </p>
