In private cloud datacenters, you can set prices for backup policies. When users request a pricing estimate for their virtual appliance, the platform will include the price of the backup policies of each VM. The platform will also include the price of backup services in the VM_PRICES list.
The platform bills backups with a monthly fixed cost and/or a separate cost for VM disk size in GB (in the platform). For example, if a customer has a VM with 50 GB of hard disk and is using a daily backup policy. If the price for the backup policy is $20 and the price per GB is $1 per GB, the customer will pay $20 + (50 * $1) = $70 per month. |
