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.
| Projected VMs (+30% growth) | 78 |
|---|---|
| RAM needed (no overcommit) | 1,248 GB → 3 hosts |
| Physical cores at 4:1 | 78 cores → 1 hosts |
| Usable storage | 19.0 TB → 2 hosts (local flash; a shared array changes this) |
| Cluster minimum | 2 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.
