VMware Virtualization TCO / ROI Calculator
A brief overview of what the TCO / ROI Calculator does:
This tool is designed to provide a total cost of ownership analysis comparing your current environment to a virtualized VMware environment.
By answering a few questions related to your existing environment, including the number of servers intended to be virtualized, person hours to provision a new server, and existing storage requirements, default assumptions are made based upon Alinean research, 2008, to determine your current costs.
Through virtualization with VMware, servers and desktop infrastructure can be consolidated resulting in a significant reduction in costs, as well as improvements in service levels, reduction in risks and improvements in business agility.
