Interactive IT Calculators
16 instant calculators for cloud, storage, networks, DR, security & power — estimate, compare options, and sanity-check assumptions before you scope a project. Build a plan as you go and send it to our architects.
Cloud vs On-Prem TCO (3-yr)
Compare a 3-year total cost of ownership for on-prem hardware vs IT Vortex cloud hosting.
3-year cost comparison
Downtime Cost Calculator
Estimate what an outage costs per hour, per incident, and per year — and what a 15-minute DRaaS RTO saves.
Annual exposure: today vs DRaaS (15-min RTO)
Ransomware Recovery Time
Estimate realistic recovery time: triage + restore throughput + validation.
Recovery timeline
Backup Retention (GFS) Sizing
Size a Grandfather-Father-Son backup repository across daily, weekly, monthly and yearly restore points.
Repository composition (pre-dedup)
Cloud / VM Capacity Planner
How many hosts your workload needs by CPU and by RAM, with N+1 high-availability reserve.
Hosts required (the larger dimension drives the cluster)
Uptime / SLA "Nines"
Translate an availability target into an allowed-downtime budget, and check what your actual outages achieved.
Allowed downtime per year by SLA tier
Subnet / CIDR Calculator
Compute network, broadcast, usable range, and host count for IPv4 CIDR blocks.
Bandwidth Converter (Mbps ⇄ MB/s)
Convert between bits and bytes to align ISP links, replication, and backup windows.
File / Dataset Transfer Time
Estimate duration to move TB/PB over a given link (with overhead and concurrency).
RAID Usable Capacity
Estimate usable storage for RAID 0/1/5/6/10 (simplified, planning-grade).
Backup Repository Sizing (Planning)
Estimate backup storage needed using data size, change rate, retention, and compression/dedupe.
DR Bandwidth Planner (RPO Feasibility)
Estimate bandwidth needed to meet an RPO given data size and change rate.
Password Entropy & Crack-Time (Estimate)
Estimate entropy bits and rough offline crack time based on charset and length.
UPS Runtime Estimator
Estimate runtime from load and UPS watt capacity (planning-grade).
Power → Cooling (BTU/hr) + Cost
Convert IT load (watts) into BTU/hr and estimate monthly energy cost.
VDI / DaaS Sizing (CPU/RAM/IOPS Planning)
Quick estimate for desktop pools. Good for early-stage feasibility and high-level capacity planning.
