The RightScale Cloud Computing TCO Calculator is intended to present an informational approximation of datacenter and cloud costs to give you an estimate of the cost and agility savings that are possible. The calculator estimates upfront and annual costs over a five-year term with a three-year hardware refresh cycle.

Your actual deployment costs and savings will depend on the number and size of servers deployed and the load volatility experienced in production. To speak with an expert about your specific implementation needs, call us at 866.720.0208.

Why Use RightScale?

The pay-as-you go cloud computing model is equally attractive to small- and mid-size businesses as well as enterprises for the simple reason that it reduces capital expenditures and provides economies of scale not possible with the traditional datacenter model.

The RightScale Cloud Management Platform makes it easier for companies to move applications to cloud infrastructures and manage them as they evolve.

We've developed the Cloud Computing TCO Calculator to help you calculate the cost savings and agility benefits you can achieve by deploying applications in the cloud with RightScale versus deploying them onsite in a datacenter.

How RightScale Delivers Savings

Cloud computing provides a combination of cost and agility savings. Most companies find that, coupled with a cloud management solution like RightScale, they can quickly achieve significant savings by moving to the cloud.

RightScale reduces the complexity of moving your applications to the cloud by delivering:

  • Agility: Launch and manage resources in
    minutes — not days or weeks.
  • Choice: Architect to meet your requirements.
  • Control: Monitor and manage performance, users and costs.
