AIM is a SaaS application that discovers your on-premise resources and provides equivalent and right-sized cloud templates in minutes. AIM includes hidden costs such as network and IO that incur extra charges in the cloud. AIM provides you with a comparison of on-prem costs vs. costs in AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud and VMware Cloud.
The AIM report gives you a cloud bill of materials and costs that form a starting point for your lift and shift cloud migrations.

This listing uses a single usage-based dimension. You pay per on-premises virtual machine (VM) that the software maps to cloud templates. Pricing scales directly with the number of VMs you model. There are no tiers or instance sizes to choose from. Each mapped VM carries the same per-unit charge. Once a VM is mapped, you can model it an unlimited number of times for one year. So your cost grows only as you add more source VMs to the assessment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one VM for billing purposes?
One VM is a single on-premises virtual machine that the software discovers and maps to a cloud template. The software imports VM inventory and configurations non-invasively from your existing environment. Each source VM you model carries the per-VM charge, so your count equals the number of distinct source VMs you assess.
If I re-run a scenario on the same VM, am I charged again?
No. The per-VM charge covers modeling that source VM an unlimited number of times for one year. You can re-run right-sizing and scenario analysis on an already-mapped VM without new charges. Your cost rises only when you add new source VMs to the assessment.
Does the per-VM price change based on the VM's size or configuration?
No. The charge is a flat per-source-VM rate. A large, memory-intensive VM and a small VM each count as one unit at the same price. Your total depends only on how many source VMs you model, not on their CPU, memory, disk, or network specifications.
