New VDI Calculator (HTML) debuts today!

  • 09/16/2020

Over the years, the VDI Calculator has been used thousands of times by architects and infrastructure teams to size VDI deployments. Just in 2020 alone, the tool has been used over 3,000 times, with the USA and Russia leading the charts.

I also see that many large technology vendors use the calculator to size VDI for their customers. Welcome to the Google Analytics world!

With that out of the way, I have for a long time been asked to create a tablet and mobile-friendly version of the calculator, or even to completely get rid of java.

I am happy to announce today that I am immediately retiring all old versions (java and docker) of the calculator in favor of a new HTML version.

I have already ported most features to this new version and even added some new features.

As an example, the calculator now doesn’t allow the definition of hyper-convergence (HCI) vendor A or B and instead provides simple options to add CPU and memory overhead. This change not only simplifies code maintenance but enables the calculator to be used for any HCI vendor. The same approach I have taken to the virtualization layer.

I will keep updating and adding features often, including integrating with DaaS solutions (GCP, AWS, and Azure) to enable the right-sizing of cloud deployments.

I have exhaustively tested the new VDI calculator, but if you find any issues, please report them to me.

Thanks, and enjoy it!
