#### Step-by-step guide to calculate facilities costs
67-
The facilities cost calculation in Azure Migrate is based on the Cloud Economics methodology, tailored specifically for your on-premises datacenter. This methodology is based on a colocation model, which prescribes an average cost value per kWh, which includes space, power and lease costs, which usually comprise facilities costs for a datacenter.  
68-
1. **Determine the current energy consumption (in kWh) for your workloads**: Energy consumption by current workloads = Energy consumption for compute resources + Energy consumption for storage resources.
69-
1. **Energy consumption for compute resources**: 
70-
1. **Determine the total number of physical cores in your on-premises infrastructure**: In case you don't have the number of physical cores, you can use the formula - Total number of physical cores = Total number of virtual cores/2.
71-
1. **Input the number of physical cores into the given formula**: Energy consumption for compute resources (kWh) = Total number of physical cores * On-Prem Thermal Design Power or TDP (kWh per core) * Integration of Load factor * On-premises Power Utilization Efficiency or PUE.
72-
1. If you aren't aware of the values of TDP, Integration of Load factor and On-premises PUE for your datacenter, you can use the following assumptions for your calculations:
73-
1. On-Prem TDP (kWh per core) = **0.009**
74-
1. Integration of Load factor = **2.00**
75-
1. On-Prem PUE = **1.80**

1. **Energy consumption for storage resources**:

1. **Determine the total storage in use for your on-premises infrastructure in Terabytes (TB)**.
78-
1. **Input the storage in TB into the given formula**: Energy consumption for storage resources (kWh) = Total storage capacity in TB * On-Prem storage Power Rating (kWh per TB) * Conversion of energy consumption into Peak consumption * Integration of Load factor * On-premises PUE (Power utilization effectiveness).
79-
1. If you aren't aware of the values of On-premises storage power rating, conversion factor for energy consumption into peak consumption, and Integration of Load factor and On-premises PUE, you can use the following assumptions for your calculations:
80-
1. On-Prem storage power rating (kWh per TB) = **10**
81-
1. Conversion of energy consumption into peak consumption = **0.0001**
82-
1. Integration of Load factor = **2.00**
83-
1. On-Prem PUE = **1.80**
84-
1. **Determine the unused energy capacity for your on-premises infrastructure**: By default you can assume that **40%** of the datacenter energy capacity remains unused.
85-
1. **Determine the total energy capacity of the datacenter**: Total energy capacity = Energy consumption by current workloads / (1-unused energy capacity).
86-
1. **Calculate total facilities costs per year**: Facilities costs per year = Total energy capacity * Average colocation costs ($ per kWh per month) * 12. You can assume the average colocation cost = **$340 per kWh per month**.

Assume that Contoso, an e-commerce company has 10,000 virtual cores and 5,000 TB of storage. Let's use the formula to calculate facilities cost:
91-
1. Total number physical cores = **10,000/2** = **5,000**
92-
1. Energy consumption for compute resources = **5,000 * 0.009 * 2 * 1.8 = 162 kWh**
93-
1. Energy consumption for storage resources = **5,000 * 10 * 0.0001 * 2 * 1.8 = 18 kWh**
94-
1. Energy consumption for current workloads = **(162 + 18) kWh = 180 kWh**
95-
1. Total energy capacity of datacenter = **180/(1-0.4) = 300 kWh**
96-
1. Yearly facilities cost = **300 kWh * $340 per kWh * 12 = $1,224,000 = $1.224 Mn**
