System Calculator

The System Requirements Calculator allows users to estimate the total RAM, storage, recommended number of servers, and estimated monthly cost based on inputs like CPU cores, RAM and storage requirements, number of users, and redundancy levels.

How to Use the System Requirements Calculator

Using the System Requirements Calculator is a straightforward process. Follow the step-by-step guide below to determine the optimal system requirements based on your needs.

Step 1: Input the Required CPU Cores

Select the appropriate number of CPU cores required for your system. Choose from the following options:

  • Dual Core – Suitable for basic tasks.
  • Quad Core – Ideal for multi-tasking and standard applications.
  • Hexa Core – Recommended for advanced computing needs.
  • Octa Core – Best for high-performance tasks and large applications.

Step 2: Enter the RAM Size Required (GB)

Input the amount of RAM your system will require. This is mandatory and should be within the range of 1 to 128 GB. Ensure that the value is appropriate for your workload.

Step 3: Specify the Storage Space Required (GB)

Enter the storage size needed for your system, ranging from 1 to 10,000 GB. Consider the capacity necessary for your applications and data storage.

Step 4: Determine the Number of Users

Provide the number of users who will be accessing the system. This figure must be between 1 and 10,000. Ensure this reflects actual user load for accurate calculations.

Step 5: Select the Redundancy Level

Choose a redundancy level to protect your data. Options include:

  • No Redundancy – No additional protection.
  • Basic (RAID 1) – Mirrors data for simple backup.
  • Advanced (RAID 5) – Balances performance and protection through parity.
  • High (RAID 10) – Combines mirroring and striping for maximum redundancy.

Step 6: Review the Calculated Results

After entering all the necessary inputs, the calculator will compute the following results:

  • Total RAM Required: This is calculated as ramSize * users * 1.2 and is presented in GB.
  • Total Storage Required: Determined by storageSize * users * redundancyLevel and displayed in GB.
  • Recommended Number of Servers: Calculated using ceil(users / 500) * redundancyLevel based on user load and redundancy.
  • Estimated Monthly Cost: The final cost is calculated as (totalRAM * 2.5) + (totalStorage * 0.1) + (recommendedServers * 100), presented in USD.

Ensure to review these outputs to verify that the proposed system meets your requirements before implementation.
