Integration with Renewal Wizard
These features are integrated into the main VMware renewal wizard

1. NVMe Assessment Step

During the renewal wizard, users complete the NVMe memory tiering assessment step where they input their current environment details and workload characteristics.

2. Scenario Comparison

After generating recommendations, users can compare different scenarios to evaluate conservative vs aggressive approaches before making a decision.

3. Financial Summary

The final summary and report pages show integrated costs including both VMware licenses and NVMe hardware investment with complete TCO analysis.

4. PDF Export

Users can download a professional procurement specification PDF at any time to share with hardware vendors, procurement teams, or management for approval.
