TARGET SOLUTION
By default PSS sizes the target solution:
 
- Based on USED CAPACITY 
- For a X:1 REPLACEMENT (All Sources Consolidated to a Single Target)

If the solution requires another method, use the SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS section in the next page.                                                                                          

Other capacities can be Usable, Subscribed, or Custom.
Other replacement methods are 1:1 and X:X (Multiple to Multiple Replacements)
CAPACITYDESCRIPTIONNOTES
Subscribed CapacityTotal capacity presented to hosts that includes Virtual Provisioning efficiencies.This is a conservative cost solution that matches the Effective Usable Capacity of the Target array to the amount of capacity presented to hosts from the Source array.
Usable CapacityThis capacity is the Total Raw Capacity minus Hot Spares and System Overhead, considering RAID Protection and including Data Reduction Efficiencies such as: 

- Deduplication
- Compression		This is a moderate cost solution that provides a Like-for-Like Effective Capacity configuration.
Used CapacityCapacity reported as used in the source array or host scan.
This is the actual written capacity to disk.		Aggressive cost solution that optimizes cost.
This is the  PSS default value for XtremIO, and Unity target arrays. The PSS recommended maximum capacity utilization for the solution is 90% when this option is selected.
The PSS default value for VMAX and PowerMax includes a 30% capacity buffer.
Custom CapacityCustom capacity based on customer requirements.If you require another capacity or unique sizing, please explain in the Special Instructions section in the UPLOADS and SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS page.

VxRAIL | Hyperconverged Solution

Complex Configurations Such As VCF on VXRail and VxRail Integrated Rack Are Not Supported By PSS.

Please Consult Your Local HCI Specialist or vArchitect For Details.

Oracle and SQL Server license by the number of cores available. 

In those situations, a reduced core or socket count may significantly reduce customer licensing costs.

For guidance on the selection of GPUs, please refer to the VxRail Technical Guide.
GPUs are only available for V-Series nodes. If more than 1 GPU per node is required, address this requirement in the quoting process. The use of GPUs requires vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing.
GPUs are only available for V-Series nodes. If more than 1 GPU per node is required, address this requirement in the quoting process. The use of GPUs requires vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing.
These will be added to any other workloads provided in the Live Optics report by using the reference VDI workloads defined in the VxRail Sizing Tool.

The default values below, are the reference workloads found in the VxRail Sizer for your convenience, please edit as required to match your customer requirements.
VDI WORKLOAD

3 Node Configurations are primarily used for competitive situations to lower the point of entry cost.

Sizing a 3 node solution is done without resources for vSphere HA and is done as best effort only by PSS.

A 3 node cluster can only tolerate 1 failure, and there is no way to migrate all data from a node during maintenance.

mSRP Solutions Require an RPQ for New Arrays and When Adding an SRP.
PSS Output is Required to be Included in the RPQ Request.

For mSRP Sizing, PSS Requires Performance Data Defined Per Pool.
