CloudCast™: The cloud server cost calculator

Unlock financial insights for IT transformation

Calculating infrastructure costs across multiple cloud environments can make migration planning a difficult and time-consuming endeavor. CloudCast changes all that by enabling you to easily select any number of servers in an IT infrastructure and then estimate and compare the costs of that selection across multiple cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, among others. Plus, CloudCast enables you to add your own custom pricing for additional flexibility and improved analysis.

Use CloudCast to discover new potential for IT transformation and infrastructure savings with deeper, timelier financial insights.
