What will this tool help me decide?
If a Linux Server Consolidation is Right For You

TCOnow! for Linux Server Consolidation is a software tool that will analyze your business situation to determine whether you would benefit from a Linux Server Consolidation. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison for the migration of an existing mixed workload to Windows Dell servers, Windows HP ProLiant Servers, or to a midrange server running Linux logical partitions. TCOnow! will also help you understand the costs and benefits of consolidating your general server environment.

TCOnow! shrinks a typical multi-week project into a matter of hours. This accelerated analysis is made possible because the software is packed with data on servers, software, personnel, and downtime. If you are trying to decide if you would benefit from a Linux Server Consolidation, then this is the product for you!

Interview Process:		By answering a minimum number of questions, you will be able to estimate your financial costs if you consolidate your application onto midrange Intel servers. Select from a variety of server consolidation strategies. You will also be able to obtain pricing and performance on several hundred server options. Choose from 17 industry groups (see the default costs for employee salaries, benefits, depreciation method and schedule, cost of capital, etc).

Results:		Your completed business case will configure your current and future environment and simplify capacity planning.

A Step Further:		Once you have completed your analysis, you are able to go back in and change any of your choices or the underlying assumptions. This means you can watch your costs change as you select a different server availability option, or change server consolidation strategy.
