FREE HOSTING PLANNING TOOL

Plan your cloud hosting. Take the brief to any provider.

Capture your virtual machines, storage, networking and operational requirements in one report. Compare providers against the same brief, with no account or email required.

Your entries stay in this browser. Save a draft on this device, download a report, or use your browser’s print dialog to save a PDF. Nothing you enter is sent to DC Core.

Use one brief to compare hosting proposals.

Ask each supplier to confirm VM resources, CPU allocation, storage performance, network limits, backup design, support and operational ownership against your report. Record recurring charges, usage charges and migration costs separately.

The capacity summary adds the resources you enter; it is not a benchmark or an architecture design. Validate your assumptions with workload measurements and a test deployment. Recovery objectives require a tested recovery design.
