New tool enables efficient, accurate and customizable decision-making in technology infrastructure cost analysis
INDIANAPOLIS , July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Scale Computing, a 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 that estimates the cost savings customers can achieve across specific technology categories and server models by migrating their application workloads to the Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform).
TCO calculations allow customers to evaluate purchasing decisions based on the total cost of owning and operating their IT infrastructure over its lifecycle or any other period of time. When making any significant investment, such as technology infrastructure or software, a TCO analysis is crucial to making informed purchasing decisions. TCO analysis provides visibility into both direct and indirect costs, such as power consumption and energy savings, allowing business and IT leaders to examine the lasting financial impact of investments and identify opportunities for cost reduction. Performing a TCO analysis manually can be time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies, but automated cost analysis tools can provide business leaders with critical information for decision-making.
“When evaluating a new IT infrastructure solution, acquisition cost is only the starting point of the cost analysis. Customers need complete visibility into associated operational costs to make informed purchasing decisions, and we aim to provide that transparency,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. “IT leaders need a detailed understanding of the total costs associated with purchasing and maintaining a solution over time, including implementation, training, licensing, scale-out, downtime and management costs. We are excited to release an easy-to-use, customizable and accurate TCO Calculator to help customers see the savings they can realize with Scale Computing.”
The Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform) combines simplicity, high availability and scalability in a powerful all-in-one solution to streamline existing IT infrastructure. It seamlessly integrates with existing hardware regardless of specifications, empowering IT leaders to efficiently manage infrastructure at the edge of the network. SC//Platform replaces complex setups with a single, easy-to-manage platform that provides high availability for running virtual machines. This simplicity delivers significant cost savings compared to solutions like VMware, with an estimated 40% lower TCO and up to 90% less downtime.
