What Is Your VMware Infrastructure Actually Costing You?
Find out in minutes — without building another spreadsheet or talking to a sales rep.
Jump to the Calculator ↓If you're reviewing your VMware environment — because of renewal timing, product changes, or new infrastructure planning — you need numbers grounded in your actual environment.
This calculator gives you a side-by-side cost comparison you can use to frame the conversation internally.
A Practical Tool for VMware Cost Analysis
The VMware Cost Calculator compares your VMware licensing fees against the cost of an enterprise-grade virtualization alternative.
Adjust the inputs, apply your own assumptions, and download a PDF report you can share with your team or leadership.
Choose the Scenario That Matches Your Situation
Existing Environments
Approaching renewal and want to understand the cost of staying on VMware versus an alternative at the same scale.
Legacy Environments
Your VMware product has been discontinued or changed, and you need to understand the cost impact of the new licensing model.
New Environments
Planning new infrastructure and want to compare platform economics before committing to a licensing model.
Your Numbers, Not Generic Estimates
Every environment is different. The calculator lets you override defaults and apply your own inputs, including negotiated discounts, so the results reflect your actual situation.
What Does It Compare Against?
VMware licensing fees are compared against the cost of an OpenNebula Premium Subscription — an enterprise-grade virtualization platform commonly evaluated by organizations looking for VMware alternatives.
The goal is not to force a platform decision. It is to give you a clear cost baseline before renewal, upgrade, or infrastructure planning decisions are made.
Results are shown in both table and chart format and can be downloaded as a PDF report.
Run the Numbers
You don't need a migration plan to use the calculator. If VMware costs are on your radar, run the numbers and see where you stand.
