Planning Applications
What Can These Calculators Help You Plan?
Storage Capacity Compare RAID and ZFS usable capacity, redundancy overhead and planning reserves.
Data Transfer Windows Estimate network bandwidth for backups, replication and large migrations.
Server Power Estimate system wattage, PSU loading, current draw and energy consumption.
Rack Cooling Convert rack electrical load into approximate BTU/hr cooling demand.
UPS Runtime Estimate backup runtime and evaluate UPS watt and VA capacity.
Transparent Planning
Calculators Should Show Their Assumptions
Infrastructure calculations often depend on assumptions that can materially affect the result. Storage overhead varies by layout, network throughput differs from theoretical line rate, server power changes with workload, and UPS runtime varies with load and battery characteristics.
Tech Supply Direct calculators keep important assumptions visible so results can be used as planning estimates rather than mistaken for guaranteed production measurements.
Planning Notice
Use Calculator Results as Planning Estimates
Calculator results do not replace manufacturer documentation, compatibility validation, measured telemetry, workload testing or professional electrical and infrastructure design where required. Validate production configurations against the exact hardware, software and facility environment being deployed.
