Practical decision support
Use the estimate as a sizing conversation, not a provider quote
The calculator translates a small set of workload inputs into a directional range. It is designed to expose cost drivers and missing data before formal discovery.
- Enter measured processor, memory, storage, availability, and management needs rather than installed capacity.
- Treat the result as a planning range; software entitlements, network, backup, DR, migration, and contract terms require validation.
- Run low, expected, and high scenarios to see which assumptions materially change the outcome.
Your directional estimate
Estimates are directional and are not provider quotes. Actual pricing depends on configuration, licensing, geography, storage, network usage, support, availability design, contract terms, and migration scope.
Directional monthly infrastructure range
$482–$652 / month, illustrative
Illustrative baseline rates, not real provider pricing.
Main cost drivers
- Baseline compute, memory, and storage sizing only
A validated quote will also require
- Exact licensing terms for the OS, database, and any ISV software
- Current contract details and any existing provider commitments
- Precise performance benchmarks (e.g., CPW/rPerf or workload profiling)
- Security and compliance scope (e.g., data residency, PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2)
