Cutting Data Management Costs with Chargeback
Lack of information is a leading factor in excessive storage costs today. The inability to quickly access information around who is using what storage and for how long encourages prudent administrators to keep data much longer than needed.
Fortunately, Servergraph’s Chargeback feature is both an effective data management tool and, more specifically, a financial management tool for monitoring storage use and applying cost based on a customizable billing model. Administrators can use this tool to monitor storage overuse and motivate individuals to keep their storage use to a minimum. At the press of a button, Chargeback quickly provides information on who is accessing and using storage.
Chargeback Reporting in Servergraph Professional*
Servergraph provides a totally flexible and customizable billing model by allowing companies to create separate billing rates for different tape media, onsite versus offsite storage, or by quota levels. Servergraph performs completely automated billing by application based on network usage (amount of data being moved across the network), occupancy (amount of disk space taken up in storage), or a hybrid of both. From setting up a basic billing model to a complex one – Servergraph makes it easy for your organization to choose the metrics that best apply to your environment.
