Step 5 · Model the tradeoff
Run your scenario on your own numbers.
Two simple calculators. Put in rough numbers for one workload, treat the results as planning inputs, then test the assumptions that matter most. Everything is calculated in your browser.
Cost scenario
What might you rent, or own?
Compare modeled cloud use with a modeled local setup over the same time horizon, including the hardware recovery point.
Capacity scenarioWhat capacity could this return?
Model one repeated task and make the time assumption visible, without claiming savings that haven’t happened.
Both tools model one workload at a time. They aren’t quotes, forecasts, or a purchase case. Hybrid answers are normal: you might run the routine, sensitive jobs locally and keep a cloud tool for the rest.
