Virtualization Chargeback Reporting for Better IT Budgeting

Calculate and share the costs of your virtual infrastructure

Choose your infrastructure group

Choose your infrastructure group

To calculate your chargeback costs, first specify how you would like to classify these costs. Your options are by host, cluster, VMware tag, or custom property. Calculating by host provides a more granular view, while calculating by cluster delivers cost information by groups of hosts.

Tie workloads to the physical resources they consume

Tie workloads to the physical resources they consume

SolarWinds® Virtualization Manager (VMAN) calculates virtual infrastructure costs based on fixed costs for a fixed period of time.  The fixed costs include memory, storage, CPU, and vCPU resources.  With this information, you can tie the computing costs to the workloads.

VMAN provides easy to use reporting to calculate the computing costs of specific virtual workloads. Chargeback reporting enables IT to communicate with technical partners the costs associated with their projects and enables more effective budgeting.

Do you find yourself asking…
  • What is chargeback for virtualized environments?
  • How does chargeback reporting work?
  • Why is it important to run chargeback reports?
  • What is chargeback for virtualized environments?

    Virtualization chargeback reporting allows IT to assign a cost to the virtual IT infrastructure powering virtual workloads. They can then charge the departments and business units those workloads support.

  • How does chargeback reporting work?

    Chargeback reporting calculates the costs of virtual infrastructure with the fixed costs associated with the memory, storage, CPU, and vCPU resources of the workload.

  • Why is it important to run chargeback reports?

    Virtualization makes it easy to spin up workloads, but teams don't often consider the associated costs. This leads to virtual machine sprawl, and wasted resources. Virtualization chargeback reporting quantifies workload costs, so departments are more inclined to optimize your resources.
