Heading to NYC tomorrow.

We have out grown our current hardware (3x ESxi + Dell SAN) and instead of looking at just refreshing and spending ££££ on new hosts and a SAN (I know Scott but out of my hands i'm trying to steer them to Scale or similar tech).
Anyway one of the options we are thinking is moving the whole lot to cloud/co-lo/IaaS?
Just wondering the best way to start thinking or capacity planning for this so we can get a rough idea of costs compared to doing it the same as now on hardware here. Or is it something for the "Pros" to get in and do the planning and then quote us ???
(FYI - Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 - 300 users - 300-400GB Database size - 300 Devices to access it - Currently using Citrix XenApp shared desktops not vdi.)

Maybe create a new thread for this.

@thwr after a simple answer of plan it yourself or get the "pro's" in will do for now as this will be a project to spread over the next 5-6 months.

I'm not sure if you are referring to the footware or explosive.
Foot ware, not so concerned about but the explosive sounds fun.

It's already 11:40, and I still have a pile of work to get completed.
After bulldozing an entire mountain of work left of from Thursday and Friday.

Some serious IT advertising that pops up on the ticket system.

Yeah, compiling.
That's so blazing fast today... Not like 15 to 20 years ago when you hit F5, CTRL-ALT-DEL->SPACE and went off to get the next coffee.

You need to run more stuff in the background to slow it down! Coffee time is sacred

Just checked my current workstation: Xeon 1240, 32GB RAM, SSD, bla bla. There are always like 5 or 6 VMs running, one with a SQL Server workload, a billion browser windows on at least 2 browsers, Office, Visual Studio, some PDFs... I guess I could start reencoding videos in the background to make it sweat
