Cost estimator
Datacentre setup cost estimator — on-premises.
Three modules — infrastructure, software licenses, and power/safety/facility — each with editable quantities and unit costs. Nothing here is a fixed price: fill in your own quotes and adjust the contingency buffer to get a working estimate.
Deployment size
Presets set quantities only — any unit costs you've entered are kept.
Architecture — filled from your current configuration

CapEx with buffer across deployment sizes (using your current unit costs)
Projected using the unit costs you've entered, applied to each scenario's quantities — not a separate price assumption.
Physical compute, network, and storage hardware — one-time capital cost.

Summary
Adjustable planning margin for price volatility and unforeseen costs — not a fixed fact.
Figures are computed from the quantities and unit costs you enter — this tool does not assume or display any hardware, license, or utility price as fact. Fill in your own quotes for an accurate estimate.
