The old chargeback model of users paying for physical server hardware simply no longer works. In the new virtual datacenter where all hardware is shared, IT organizations must charge users for the resources they actually consume (CPU, memory, storage and network). VKernel's Chargeback Virtual Appliance allows IT to provide its end user departments with instant reports about resource consumption and how much it costs. VKernel's Chargeback Virtual Appliance meters CPU, memory, storage and network utilization in your ESX environment. The virtual appliance stores this information and lets you generate billback and cost visibility reports to show users what their resource usage actually costs.
