+- **Capital and operational costs of Windows File Servers with one or more server endpoints.** Azure File Sync as a replication solution is agnostic of where the Windows File Servers that are synchronized with Azure Files are; they could be hosted on-premises, in an Azure virtual machine, or even in another cloud. The costs for sync servers hosted on-premises or in other cloud providers including capital, such as the upfront hardware costs of your solution, and operating, such as the cost of labor, electricity, etc., costs aren't part of your Azure bill, but are still be part of the total cost of ownership of the solution. You should consider the amount of data you need to cache on-premises, the number of CPUs and amount of memory your Windows File Servers need to host Azure File Sync workloads, and other organization-specific costs you might have.
