VM sizing calculator

Enter your estate and get a host count with the reasoning shown, not a black box. The result URL is shareable, and nothing here asks for your email. The assumptions behind the math are covered in the virtualization sizing guide.

Recommendation

4 hosts

2-socket 48-core hosts with 512 GB RAM and ≈17 TB usable flash each. Your binding constraint is memory.

Sizing reasoning
Projected VMs (+30% growth)78
RAM needed (no overcommit)1,248 GB → 3 hosts
Physical cores at 4:178 cores → 1 hosts
Usable storage19.0 TB → 2 hosts (local flash; a shared array changes this)
Cluster minimum2 hosts
N+1 headroom+1 host

This is planning math, not a quote. Real sizing accounts for your failure domains, licensing, and storage architecture; we check all three before anything is ordered.
