VMWare Virtualization TCO / ROI Analysis

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, 2009, 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.

All default assumptions should be reviewed and adjusted to better reflect your actual costs. To view the default assumptions for your current environment, click on the links at the bottom of each included section on the Questionnaire.

Additional instructions for using this tool can be found by using the (i) tip help (you can click to view full text) or refer to the user’s guide / ROI methodology document (links provided at bottom of the Questionnaire.
