EOLDeskPer-core renewal, every year

Before you sign the per-core renewal, find out what the estate actually is.

RVTools already knows every host, guest and core. Upload the export and the report turns it into the three things a renewal meeting asks: what is unsupported, what is switched off and still counted, and what the core count really is.

What we need from you

RVTools vInfo, vHost and vDatastore exports (CSV or XLSX)
No vCenter credentials; the export is read-only by design
One file per tab, which RVTools writes in a single click

Files stay on a private volume, are never shared, and are deleted on request. An NDA on your paper is fine.

Counted evidence, from the sample

Host	Cluster	Cores	ESX
esx01	PROD-A	40	7.0.3
esx02	PROD-B	40	7.0.3
esx03	DR	40	7.0.3
esx04	PROD-A	40	7.0.3
esx05	PROD-B	40	6.7.0
esx06	DR	40	6.7.0

Exhibit 1 — six hosts, 240 physical cores. The two on 6.7 are a support problem separate from the guest operating systems, and they constrain which release you can move to.

What the sample found

guests past vendor support — They cannot be patched, so they are an exception someone has to own in writing — or a rebuild that belongs in the same budget.

powered-off VMs still in the inventory — Configured CPU and memory that is still backed up and still counted by some licensing models.

240

physical cores, at list — ≈$32,400 a year at $135/core. The number to take into the negotiation, not a quote.

Turnaround

Two business days from the file arriving. Late for a reason on our side and the report is free.

Deliverable

The document, one revision, and the machine-readable findings file. Yours to forward.

Scope

Counted findings and an effort floor. Not a licence audit and not a migration quote.

$1,500per system, one-time

No account, no access to your systems, and the findings file ships with the document.
