Over the past few months, I have been spending a lot of time exploring on AI infrastructure around VMware Private AI, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, RAG, Agentic AI, and AIOps.

One question that comes up repeatedly is:

“How much infrastructure do we actually need, and what will it cost?” Is there any sizing calculator that we can use.

To make these conversations easier, I’ve added an AI Infrastructure Sizing & Cost Calculator to the website.

The tool helps estimate:

  • GPU requirements (H100, A100, L40S)
  • CPU, memory, and storage sizing
  • RAG and vector database considerations
  • VMware Private AI and NVIDIA AI Enterprise deployments
  • Cost estimates and optimization opportunities

It’s not intended to replace a detailed architecture assessment, but it can be a useful starting point for planning and exploring different AI deployment scenarios.

Feel free to try it out and share any feedback or suggestions for future enhancements.
