Depending on where you are in your virtualization maturity tells you how and when you should implement a chargeback solution. The first step is providing cost transparency or "showback" so users understand usage and service costs. Next is understanding where consumption drives higher or lower variable costs. And finally, supporting the multiple chargeback models that business units will demand - especially with shared service delivery models.
Join Hyper9 for a 40 minute Show-n-Tell webinar where they will cover how to reduce overall IT spend on the virtual infrastructure by successfully implementing a showback/chargeback solution in your organization.
This Webinar will cover:
- How to create cost transparency and accountability so business units understand what's driving their IT costs
- How to accurately measure costs, conduct analysis and report on the resource usage and allocation of virtual machines (CPU, memory and storage)
- How to enable a better understanding of how much resources cost and what can be done to optimize resource utilization
- The Virtualization difference between physical assets vs. shared infrastructure, Ease of deployment and changes, and Chargeback as a natural way to control Sprawl
- Mapping the Virtual Infrastructure to the Business by leveraging vCenter and other sources.
See Hyper9 VEO in action to see how you can provide Chargeback or Showback within your VMware environment with the help of Reports, Trends, and Dashboards and then how to share that information out to external sources.
