Total cost of ownership (TCO) is an important consideration when deciding whether to go virtual when server hardware reaches end-of-life, and then when deciding on a vendor.
Comparative analysis of TCO can help you decide whether to move forward with a project or go back to the drawing board. A careful TCO analysis can also help in getting ultimate financial approval from stakeholders. This tool provides:
- Data entry fields for a range of total costs per server including capital cost & ongoing maintenance.
- Ability to enter multiple server options allowing TCO comparisons, such as:
- Virtual servers vs. non-virtual servers
- Virtualization vendors under comparable hardware configurations
- Server OS licensing versions
Use this tool to get a realistic sense of costs beyond the initial capital purchase, and to compare TCO factors, including energy consumption, maintenance, virtual & OS software licensing, and other relevant costs.
