Indicative, non-binding estimate excluding taxes. When you enter your VMware cost, the calculation is based on the information you provide. Otherwise, it uses an unofficial VCF assumption of $375/core/year. Actual costs vary by contract, term, scope and negotiation. This result is neither an offer nor a quotation; a technical inventory is still required.
