The following is a list of the major total cost of ownership (TCO) components and key assumptions used in the analysis:

Hardware and Software Acquisition TCO

Pricing per Gartner IDEAS Competitive Profiles at list in US dollars less the following discounts: 45% HPE hardware and software, 60% Cisco hardware and software, 48% HPE hardware support, 35% Cisco hardware support, and 30% HPE and Cisco software support. Hardware and software discounts per Gartner, support discounts per HPE research.
Existing HPE BladeSystem and Cisco UCS hardware and software on that hardware previously purchased and thus considered sunk (i.e. no additional HPE BladeSystem and Cisco UCS hardware and software acquisition purchases required).
All existing software licenses transferable to Synergy HPE Synergy with any remaining licenses (per the server consolidation) not used or otherwise transferred to existing servers or new datacenter growth (i.e. no new HPE Synergy software license purchases required).
Existing HPE BladeSystem and Cisco UCS hardware and software support contracts on that hardware previously purchased and thus considered sunk, at the end of their contract term, and/or may be cancelled (i.e. no HPE BladeSystem and Cisco UCS ongoing contractual support costs exist).
See below for the specific HPE BladeSystem, Cisco UCS and HPE Synergy hardware and software configurations.

Facilities TCO

Power and cooling per 8,736 system operating hours/year, $0.10 power cost per kilowatt (kWh), 1.7 average power usage effectiveness (PUE), and component power consumption per HPE Power Advisor.
Carbon footprint per 8,736 system operating hours/year, 0.59 kg average CO2 emissions per kWh of electrical power, and $10 carbon emissions offset cost per metric ton.

Datacenter Infrastructure TCO

Datacenter power infrastructure per tier II datacenter, $12.50 power infrastructure cost per watt, 15 year infrastructure useful life, and a 7% interest rate.
Datacenter space infrastructure per 28 square feet per rack and $300 cost per square foot.

Indirect TCO

System downtime per employee productivity loss, 2.5 employees supported per existing server processor core, $62,000 annual salary per business user, 32% burden rate per employee, and 2,080 employee hours worked per year.
HPE Synergy Composable Infrastructure system deployment and management operational expense (OpEx) savings not considered at this point.

NPV and Performance Consolidation

NPV (net present value) calculated per a 7% interest rate.
The existing HPE BladeSystem and Cisco UCS server to proposed HPE Synergy compute consolidation quantities calculated per Gartner® IDEAS Competitive Profiles processor performance data. The consolidation quantities are a general guideline and may be manually adjusted. Always verify via a second source such as a proof of concept.
