VMware TCO / ROI Calculator

The VMware TCO / ROI Calculator was independently developed by leading ROI and TCO
consultancy Alinean, Inc. to quantify the potential cost savings that can be obtained from
VMware solutions. This tool utilizes industry research and savings estimates based on
Alinean research and VMware case studies to quantify the savings from deploying VMware
Solutions including Infrastructure Optimization, Disaster Recovery, Application Development
and Release Management, and Desktop Virtualization.

Infrastructure Optimization Solutions
Based upon the information provided for the 55 production server environment, implementing VMware
Infrastructure provides the following:
• Reduce the number of production servers through virtualization, reducing servers from 55 to 7, a
savings of 87.3% - with a target consolidation ratio of 7.9:1.
• With the reduction in overall number of production servers, reducing operating power by 12.014
kWatts, cooling power by 15.033 kWatts, and datacenter space requirements by 7 square meters.
• A reduction of 316,855 lbs (144 tons) of carbon emissions, equivalent to the average emissions of
taking 26 cars off the road per year.
