New Tool Enables Efficient, Accurate, and
Customizable Decision-Making for Cost Analysis of Technology
Infrastructure
INDIANAPOLIS, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Scale Computing, the market
leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged
solutions, today announced the release of the Scale Computing Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator. The new TCO Calculator is a
free online tool for estimating the cost savings customers can
achieve across specific technology categories and server models by
migrating application workloads to Scale Computing Platform
(SC//Platform).
TCO calculation enables customers to evaluate purchasing
decisions based on the comprehensive costs of owning and operating
IT infrastructure over its lifecycle or other set periods of time.
When it comes to making substantial investments like technology
infrastructure or software, TCO analysis is pivotal in making
well-informed purchase decisions. It provides visibility into both
direct and indirect costs, including power consumption and energy
savings, and allows business and IT leaders to scrutinize the
enduring financial implications of their investments to pinpoint
opportunities for cost reduction. While manual execution of TCO
analysis is often time-consuming and susceptible to inaccuracies,
automated cost analysis tools can provide enterprise leaders with
key information for decision-making.
"When evaluating a new IT infrastructure solution, the
acquisition cost is only the starting point for cost analysis.
Customers need a full view of the operational costs involved to
make an informed purchasing decision. We aim to provide that
transparency," stated Jeff Ready,
CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "IT leaders need an in-depth
understanding of the total cost associated with purchasing and
maintaining the solution over time, including the cost of
deployment, training, licensing, scale-out, downtime, and
management. We're excited to release a TCO Calculator that's easy
to use, customizable, and accurate, to help customers see what kind
of savings they could realize with Scale Computing."
Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform) brings simplicity,
high availability, and scalability together with a powerful,
all-in-one solution to streamline existing IT infrastructure. It
integrates seamlessly with existing hardware, regardless of its
specifications, and empowers IT leaders to efficiently manage
infrastructure at the network's edge. SC//Platform replaces complex
setups with a single, easy-to-manage platform that delivers high
availability for running virtual machines. This simplicity
translates to significant cost savings compared to solutions like
VMware, reducing TCO by an estimated 40% and downtime by up to
90%.
