2

Compare architectures

Proxmox, Vates, Nutanix, Azure Local… sized and costed on an identical hardware baseline.

3

Defend your decision

A decision file ready for your board: 5-year TCO, traced assumptions, compared scenarios.

What you will present to your board

Every scenario to leave VMware is sized and costed on the same hardware baseline: your board compares comparable numbers, not incompatible vendor quotes.

NaoShift decision file: costed comparison of VMware exit scenarios — 5-year TCO per target architecture, node count, licences and hardware on an identical baseline — Identical hardware baseline · per-platform CPU/RAM overheads · HA node included · assumptions exported with the file

5-year TCO per scenario: licences, support, hardware and services
Node count and CPU/RAM sizing per target architecture
Adjustable assumptions: estate growth, discounts, migration costs
Every number is traceable — assumptions ship with the file
