One of the most challenging things to accomplish as a solution architect is developing a solution that meets the customers needs, without pricing ones self out of the oppurtunity. Many customers 'want' DR, but it is often too costly. I have solutions for providing a reasonable DR solution for AVD and IaaS Servers, but it is cumbersome to price without integration directly in NMM's estimator. There is so much value in the estimation tool, It would be awesome if we had a few buttons that just made it more smooth, and easier to present.
It would be ideal if we had an 'include a DR solution' button that exposes a series of questions, that could link to guidance on the solution from Nerdio. But in theory, asking thigns like:
- DR Region
- Session Hosts to pre-provision and leave deallocated (percent of primary region total?)
- which IaaS Servers to include
- include second VPNGW?
- include additional DC running 24/7
- enable backups in a vault in DR region?
- network and storage costs associated with replication assuming an arbitrary volume of change?
- Enable FSLogix Cloud Cache (or use some other method for profile replication)
In short, I can do all of this relatively confidently on my own, but being built in to the calculator would be time saving, and help me (and other partners) provide quicker solutions that include DR to customers, boosting value to customers and increased revenue opportunities to partners.
