Calculator · Citrix SecurSpaces
See what moving developers off high-spec laptops and developer VDI could save, in under a minute. The model uses Citrix's published result of more than 60% lower cost of ownership per user, and adds the productivity you get back when onboarding takes minutes instead of days.
In Citrix's own rollout, SecurSpaces cut total cost of ownership by more than 60% per user compared with traditional VDI or high-spec laptops, and new developers started coding in minutes instead of days. This calculator applies that benchmark to your developer headcount, device and VDI costs, and onboarding volume, so you can see a 3-year estimate for your team.
Every default below is a planning assumption you can change. For a number built on your real environment, request a SecurSpaces pilot. Pilots can be Citrix-funded, subject to Citrix approval.

Estimate only, for planning purposes, not a quote. SecurSpaces pricing depends on users, compute profiles and deployment model, and Altanora quotes it after a short assessment.
A transparent model with two parts. Change any input and the results update instantly.
Laptop users cost the purchase price spread over your refresh cycle, plus annual support, imaging and security tooling. VDI users cost your annual per-desktop figure. SecurSpaces is modelled at the TCO reduction you choose, 60% by default.
Each new developer or contractor gets back the days they spend waiting for a working setup today, less about 15 minutes to launch a ready-to-code SecurSpaces workspace, valued at your fully loaded daily cost.
Security benefits such as no source code or credentials on local devices, reduced IT ticket volume and faster development cycles are real but not counted, which keeps the estimate conservative.

Citrix reports that SecurSpaces cut total cost of ownership by more than 60% per user compared with traditional VDI or high-spec laptops in its own global engineering rollout. Onboarding also dropped from days to minutes.
The 60% TCO reduction is Citrix's published result. The device, VDI, onboarding and salary defaults are planning assumptions for a typical enterprise development team. Replace them with your own numbers for a more accurate estimate.
SecurSpaces pricing depends on the number of users, the compute profiles they need and the deployment model. Altanora quotes it after a short assessment, and pilots can be Citrix-funded, subject to Citrix approval.
No. It models human developers and contractors only. AI agents run in the same secure, policy-controlled workspaces, and Altanora can size them as part of a pilot.
Yes, but not a high-spec one. SecurSpaces runs in the browser or a lightweight client, so developers can work from standard or lower-cost devices while code and credentials stay in the secure environment.
A SecurSpaces pilot measures cost, onboarding speed and security posture in your own environment, with one team and clear success criteria.
