Accelario TDM Efficiency Calculator IT Teams (ROI Calculator)
- Dima Urban (Unlicensed)
Overview:
The TDM Efficiency Calculator (ROI Calculator) is a powerful web tool designed to help customers measure potential financial and efficiency gains by implementing the Accelario Platform.
This tool allows typical software development companies to estimate the costs of their current processes, compare different scenarios, and understand the benefits of using Accelario.
How much can you save by implementing the Accelario Platform?
Measure your financial and efficiency gain possibilities today.
By inputting their specific data, customers can see detailed comparisons of time and cost savings, making it clear how much more efficient and cost-effective their operations can become with Accelario.
Additionally, for convenience, a copy of the calculation will be sent to the customer's email in PDF format.
Company parameters:
Number of production databases: default value = 1
Total size of all production databases: default value = 2000 GB
Number of non-prod database copies per prod database: default value = 5
Company's ongoing TDM processes:
Process name | Process description | Frequency, per DB | Standard time, hours | Accelario time, hours | Delta, saved time in hours | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Provision a non-production database | Time to fully provision a non-production database from scratch. Realistic estimate based on the typical operational experiences. | 1 time per month | 8 | 0.5 | 7.5 |
| 2 | Refresh a non-production database | Time required to refresh data in a non-production database. The estimate reflects standard operational timelines. | 4 times per month | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 3 | Recover a non-production database | Average hours it takes to recover a non-production database from an incident—a realistic reflection of past recovery scenarios. | 2 times per year per | 16 | 0.5 | 15.5 |
| 4 | Anonymize data in a non-production database | Average time in hours required to fully anonymize data in a non-production database. Realistic estimate based on the usual procedures. | 4 times per month | 5 | 1 | 4 |
Note:
Customers are allowed to change standard process time (hours).
Accelario times and frequencies are non-adjustable.
Cost calculation details:
Storage space price: $1.8 per GB annual price (based on AWS EBS cloud storage prices for AWS EU servers). (non-adjustable)
Cost per Hour: $75 (adjustable)
The average hourly cost for a developer team member in your organization assigned for the processes above. This should include wages, benefits, and any overhead associated with employment. Realistic figure based on the current rates.
Reduction in database storage footprint.
Parameters:
Golden image production database ratio: 33% of the initial size (non-adjustable ratio).
Virtual Databases (copies) ratio: 10% of the initial size (non-adjustable ratio).
The formula
Before Accelario (standard scenario)
Total size = (Number of duplicates + 1 ) * total size of prod databases, e.g (5+1)*2000Gb = 12000 GBWith Accelario:
Total size = size of prod databases only * ( 0.33 + number of VDB duplicates * 0.1)
e.g.: 0.33*2000 + 5*0.1*2000 = 1666 GB
Delta (saved storage): the difference between the scenario before Accelario and with Accelario
Reduction is a ratio between the scenario before Accelario and with Accelario
e.g. Delta = 12000-1666 = 10334, and reduction is 86%.
Financial impact:
Time savings: Financial impact and savings are calculated as a result of the processes' spent time multiplied by the cost per hour on an annual basis.
Storage savings: Financial impact and savings of database storage footprint are calculated as the multiplication of the storage size and storage space price on an annual basis.
By entering the required parameters, customers can receive calculated scenarios on the screen, showing potential savings and efficiency gains.
