Savings
There are two main outputs for this calculator:
• Return on Investment
• Equals Savings / Investment
• …where investment represents the sum of incremental investment
in transition from physical to virtual (new servers, shared storage,
VMware licenses, services and training, etc.)
• Total Cost of Ownership
• Inclusive of IT Administration and downtime costs
