Nutanix Migration Optimization Assessment
EThe software licensing costs associated with workloads moving to the cloud are 3 to 4 times the cost of compute, network & storage combined. Software licensing has a major impact on TCO from both a license compliance & cost optimization perspective. It’s imperative that it is included for a TCO to be accurate.
The Process
- An independent assessment from a software audit advisory expert without any software publisher bias or oversight
- Evolve can work with any tool output or any customer provided dataset
- Review of existing Microsoft Licensing Agreements and a detailed review of how recent Microsoft licensing use rights changes can impact existing and future workloads
- Define existing license use rights for BYOL to the public cloud
- Creation of a detailed TCO that breaks down compute, licensing, network & storage costs
- Nutanix Cloud Cluster (NC2) host instance stacking mapping
The Value
- Evolve is able to further optimize already “rightsized” compute costs from tool providers by an additional 47%
- Evolve has been able to reduce the amount of SQL Server cores used by 45% when moving from on-premises to the cloud
- Evolve has been able to reduce the amount of Windows Server cores used by 78% when moving from on-premises to the cloud
- Avoid the license compliance traps that recent Microsoft licensing rule changes can cause
- Renewal recommendations for protecting long-term BYOL rights
The following assessment options are available through Evolve Cloud Services:
