Sizing Requirements

Sizing Method

Number of VMs vCPUs per VM vCPU/Core Ratio Default is 4:1 (each vCPU = 0.25 cores). Adjust if your workload is more CPU-bound.
RAM per VM (GB) Storage per VM (GB)

CPU Measurement

Total CPU

Total GHz

Total RAM (GB) Total Storage (TiB)

Import from Live Optics

Upload your Live Optics .xlsx export. The system will extract VMs, CPU, memory, storage, and host information across all workload types.

Select Live Optics Export Supports .xlsx, .xls, .csv – VMware, Hyper-V, and general formats
