VMware Cloud on AWS Sizer

Extend your private cloud vSphere workloads to AWS Cloud — securely, rapidly and easily. Get started to estimate the resources required to run various workloads within VMware Cloud on AWS.

The vSAN Sizer (at https://vsansizer.vmware.com) is a sophisticated sizing tool that will step you through the process of sizing your performance and capacity needs accurately.  The vSAN Sizer will be updated to accommodate running vSAN using the OSA, or ESA.  The desired architecture can be selected during the sizing process.

VMware Cloud Sizer is a free online service that helps customers assess workloads and estimate required resources to run virtual machines in VMware Cloud on AWS environment efficiently.  It is a vital tool for capacity estimations used for migration project planning and can also provide insights for greenfield deployment and extension of the existing VMware Cloud environment.

Sizer helps customers to estimate the number of hosts required to run their virtual machines (VMs) and currently supporting VMware Cloud on AWS.

Depending on your requirements, VMware Cloud Sizer provides customers rough estimates based on industry averages or can be used for more accurate information using performance data of customer’s workloads.

 


Once a customer gets estimates from the VMware Cloud Sizer, they could work with the VMware Cloud Economics team to evaluate the financial aspects of the migration and build TCO.

Together with simplified profile settings, UI enhancements and Quick Sizer which now also supports external storage VMware Cloud Sizer becomes an even more handy tool making it essential for capacity planning.
