Introducing Dizzion’s New Self-Service TCO Analysis Tool

Desktop Decisions Start with Better Math, Stop Guessing Your Desktop TCO

Comparing desktop and workspace strategies should not feel like guesswork. Yet that is exactly what happens when organizations try to compare physical PCs with Cloud PCs. They operate in fundamentally different ways, with different cost models, security assumptions, deployment timelines, and operational realities. Still, IT and procurement teams are expected to justify the decision with a single number.

That is why we built the Dizzion Cloud PC Total Cost of Ownership calculator. It is a fast, self-service tool that provides a realistic, side-by-side cost comparison between traditional desktops and modern Dizzion Cloud PCs. No spreadsheets. No sales conversation required. Just clarity.

Why We Built It

On paper, physical PCs appear straightforward. You buy a device, deploy it, manage it, and move on.

In practice, the real cost shows up everywhere else. Imaging, staging, and shipping take time. Support tickets pile up. Security tooling and incident response require constant attention. Devices are lost, damaged, or replaced sooner than expected. Software upgrades introduce compatibility and user experience issues. Downtime impacts users when software or hardware fails or arrives late. These costs rarely appear on a purchase order, but they accumulate year after year.

Dizzion Cloud PCs change the model. Provisioning is faster. Devices become optional. Security is centralized, and management is much simpler. Support overhead is reduced. Yet these benefits are often dismissed because they are harder to quantify. The TCO calculator exists to close that gap. It turns assumptions into numbers and numbers into insight.

What the Calculator Shows You

With a small set of inputs, the TCO calculator delivers a multi-year, apples-to-apples comparison that includes endpoint strategy costs. You can model different approaches for each scenario, including existing hardware, bring-your-own-device, thin clients, Chromebooks, or traditional laptops.  

It also captures operational lifecycle costs, including provisioning, onboarding, logistics, and ongoing support, modelled across the full lifecycle rather than just the first year.

Security and support impact are also included. Reduced risk, fewer incidents, and less hands-on IT effort are reflected directly in the cost model.

Finally, the calculator shows multi-year financial outcomes. You choose the planning horizon and see what happens over time, not just in year one.

The result is a clear, complete view of the cost of physical PCs versus the savings of shifting to Dizzion Cloud PC.

Built for How Buyers Decide Today

Modern buyers want answers, not pitches.

Whether you are an IT leader exploring a transition from VDI to Cloud PC or DaaS, a procurement team evaluating device spend, a finance stakeholder modelling operational versus capital expenses, or simply pressure-testing Cloud PC assumptions, the calculator provides immediate, data-backed insights on your terms.

Why This Matters for Your Organization

Your desktop strategy affects far more than hardware budgets. It influences user productivity, security posture, IT workload, budget predictability, and long-term flexibility.

Without a complete TCO view, organizations often default to the status quo while underestimating its real cost.

The Dizzion TCO calculator helps you:

  • Build a business case based on real numbers
  • Identify cost drivers often overlooked
  • Quantify security and downtime risk reduction
  • Evaluate different endpoint strategies
  • Determine the best fit for your workforce
