The Challenge
Head-off server sprawlContain capital expensesReduce mounting support costsIncrease shareholder valueMeet all contractual & SLA reqs.
![Page 5: Building a Case for Server Consolidationdownload3.vmware.com/vmworld/2005/sln086.pdf · Building the Business Case VM_COST = COST_VMware/NO_VM + COST_SAN + COST_LABOR ($3,600 CAD)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050606/5fad9f59ef593f3fe654cb2a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Approach Must Fit CultureKnow your culture and business drivers
Process-basedMethodologies Include: ITIL, RUP, TIDAL, TOPS
Risk AverseChange management, peer reviews
SLA ImplicationsGovernance processes, penalties affect revenue

Building the Business CaseProject Estimating (PREP)
Cost per “standard” virtual machine
Cost for infrastructure software
![Page 11: Building a Case for Server Consolidationdownload3.vmware.com/vmworld/2005/sln086.pdf · Building the Business Case VM_COST = COST_VMware/NO_VM + COST_SAN + COST_LABOR ($3,600 CAD)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050606/5fad9f59ef593f3fe654cb2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Building the Business CaseA PREP feeds the Business Case and may include:
Hardware (SAN, switch, server maintenance, SAN maintenance, switch maintenance)
Software (O/S licenses, ESX Server licenses, VC licenses, software maintenance)
Miscellaneous (environmentals, cabling, racks, consulting fees, migration costs)
![Page 12: Building a Case for Server Consolidationdownload3.vmware.com/vmworld/2005/sln086.pdf · Building the Business Case VM_COST = COST_VMware/NO_VM + COST_SAN + COST_LABOR ($3,600 CAD)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050606/5fad9f59ef593f3fe654cb2a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Building the Business Case
VM_COST = COST_VMware/NO_VM + COST_SAN + COST_LABOR ($3,600 CAD)
COST_VMware: Total VMware cost (hardware, software) NO_VM: Estimated number of virtual machines per
physical server COST_SAN: Virtual machine’s SAN-related costs COST_LABOR: Virtual machine’s labor-related costs
Note: Individual virtual machine software costs were calculated separately. They include the O/S, system monitors, backup agents, Anti-virus, etc.
($3,700 CAD)
Cost per “standard” virtual machine

Building the Business CaseConsider ALL costs

Building the Business CaseBig Picture vs. Pilot Phase
Business case # 1Infrastructure, production, dev/test210 serversROI = 2 years5 year savings = $2.8M
Business case # 2Dev/test environment (low impact/low risk)60 serversROI: Self funding within same fiscal year1 year savings = $400k
