3-year cost calculator
Pre-filled for Google Cloud → On-Premise Infrastructure. Adjust every figure with your own numbers.
Every figure here is an illustrative estimate, not a vendor quote. Defaults are editable starting points compiled from public information; real, binding pricing comes from the vendor or an authorized distributor. See our methodology.
How this is licensed: On-prem cost here is amortized hardware + power + ops per vCPU; cloud cost is usage-based. For steady-state workloads the cloud run-cost is often higher (so repatriation saves), while the cloud's value is elasticity, agility, and opex. Set $/vCPU to your real amortized or committed rates.
All figures are illustrative and fully editable — adjust the cost-per-vCPU and migration inputs with your own numbers. Not guaranteed vendor pricing (defaults reviewed May 2026). For a binding quote, use the request form below to reach an authorized distributor or partner.
Quick comparison: Google Cloud vs On-Premise Infrastructure
Common trade-offs teams weigh when staying on Google Cloud versus moving to On-Premise Infrastructure. These are general, commonly-reported considerations — not statements of fact about any vendor — so check them against your own contract and the vendors' current terms.
- Already in production — no migration effort or risk
- Mature ecosystem with vendor support and SLAs
- Usage-based pricing complexity
- Egress fees
- Lock-in to managed services
- Ongoing usage-based cost to budget for
- Commercial option with vendor support and SLAs
- Cost model: CapEx + datacenter / ops
- Requires a migration (~15 weeks, medium effort)
- CapEx + datacenter / ops cost
Why teams evaluate alternatives to Google Cloud
Reasons commonly cited by users and in public industry coverage for re-evaluating Google Cloud. These are general, reported considerations — not statements of fact about Google — and may not reflect your situation or the vendor's current terms. Verify against your own contract before deciding.

The migration plan
Roughly 15 weeks for a mid-size estate, in six phases.
Tooling & automation
Repatriate: export GCE images or replicate to your hypervisor; pull data from GCS; rebuild on-prem; cut over DNS.
OffVendor's wizard pre-fills these scripts with your environment — inventory export, disk/schema conversion, bulk provisioning, and validation.
Frequently asked
Is migrating from Google Cloud to On-Premise Infrastructure worth it?
For most teams facing rising Google Cloud costs, yes — On-Premise Infrastructure (capex + datacenter / ops) typically lowers 3-year total cost of ownership, though the right answer depends on workload complexity and in-house skills. Use the calculator to model your own numbers.
How long does a Google Cloud to On-Premise Infrastructure migration take?
A typical mid-size estimate is around 15 weeks across six phases — discovery, design, pilot, waved production migration, validation, and decommission. Larger or more complex estates take longer.
What tools are used to migrate from Google Cloud to On-Premise Infrastructure?
Repatriate: export GCE images or replicate to your hypervisor; pull data from GCS; rebuild on-prem; cut over DNS.
