Here are the updated on two new features:
TCO in Proposals:
- A new section on TCO in the Proposal deck
- It has charts comparing the total cost of the solution on NX vs AWS
- It is based on pre-build scenarios of standard sizes that is closest to the one being sized
- For example: for a sizing of 450 VDI users, it will pick a pre-build scenario of 500 VDI users
- It’s an optional and editable section in the proposal ,and hope it serves as a good conversation starter
- The section also has guide on where and how to reach out to TCO team for a more detailed analysis/questions
CVM modes :
- To address wide range of requests and different use cases, introduced two modes for allocating CVM cores
- Regular mode: It is the current behaviour (and default option) so no changes
- Performance mode: If selected, it doubles up the cvm cores
- For example: for a regular VDI sizing, sizer allocates 4 cores , but if performance mode, will allocate 8 cores
- Particularly helpful in addressing the resources required for certain configs, for example: NVMe nodes
- NVMe nodes are used even for non-performance critical use case due to price parity with SSDs so regular allocation should be fine
- In cases where it is used for performance , selecting the mode will ensure higher cores are provisioned
Other updates:
- Updated HPE DX HW pricing for budgetary quotes (for DX BOM)
- Lenovo product updates
