InfraStruXureTM Total Cost of Ownership

The InfraStruXure Total Cost of Ownership tool will compare APC InfraStruXure lifecycle costs to conventional Legacy data center architecture lifecycle costs. The prices depicted include all costs associated with the design, implementation, and maintenance of an Infrastructure required to support the Design Power Rating specified.

The default values used are based on industry average and are not meant to represent an exact cost to the user but rather an estimate upon which a decision to further investigate can be reached. Results are computed assuming no time-cost of money.

Available reports include:

Capex + Opex Summary
  1. Summary of Capital and Operating Expenditures calculated per the average number of racks used during the Infrastructure Design Life
Cash Flow
  1. Total Cumulative Capital Expenditures during the Infrastructure Design Life
  2. Total Cumulative Capital + Operating Expenditures during the Infrastructure Design Life
Infrastructure Cost Breakdown
  1. Total Cost of Ownership by Category of the System
  2. Total Cost of Ownership by Category of the System per the average number of racks used during the Infrastructure Design Life
Lifetime Electricity Costs
  1. Electricity Cost by System
  2. Electricity Cost by System per the average number of racks used during the Infrastructure Design Life
For illustration purposes, a Perfectly Scalable System has been included. It represents a theoretically Ideal Data Center Architecture which is completely scalable, requires only the infrastructure necessary to support the current IT load, uses only the current space required, and incurs only the service costs on capital infrastructure capacity used at the present time.
