They have not only included standard costs of servers hardware, memory and storage but also given you options to enter in depreciation terms, hypervisor cost details, environment costs relating to power and cooling but also additional 3rd party license costs that could be used for backup or acceleration software.


The CloudPhysics Cost Calculator for Private Cloud lets you apply basic costing models to determine your actual costs per virtual machine (VM) in terms of power, compute resources, memory, storage, licensing, and more to generate a cost baseline.Īs you can see below the new Card gives you the option to enter in cost points for most input items in a typical private cloud situation. In this way infrequent peaks are ignored, and the data is better suited to making decisions against. Now CloudPhysics rightsizing can be applied with intelligence to virtual machines and compute/storage infrastructure and capture savings by reducing workloads to match actual demands and reduce over provisioning.

Rightsizing at the 99th and 95th percentile usually cuts off the top 5% or 1% of metric peaks, and then presents the data at the nearest metric rate. Before VMworld they announced the release of their Cost Calculator for Private Clouds in addition to releasing a couple more dashboards for their SaaS based landing page as well as adding a tagging feature for VMs and other objects.ĬloudPhysics roots is all about data science and what can be achieved with literally billions of data points…so it’s no surprise that they are starting to put that front and center when it come to their new feature capabilities. CloudPhysics have been a little quiet over the past twelve or so months with focus shifting from presenting data via Cards to Dashboards and also focusing on delivering on boarding solutions for managed service provider partners that has resulted in their channel business growing successfully.
