Abstract: Systems and methods of allocating network cost of a physical data center to data center tenants are disclosed. In one aspect, the systems and methods compute a total cost of the physical data center devices and networks and other operational expenditures over a period of time. The systems and methods compute local network and Internet utilization for each VM over the full period. Network utilization is computed for each VM as a fraction of the total cost. The cost allocated to each tenant is computed as a sum of the total cost of all VMs used by the tenant.

Abstract: Methods and systems that allocate the total cost of virtual storage created from hard disk drives (“HDDs”) and solid state drives (“SSDs”) of server computers and mass-storage devices of a cloud-computing facility are described. The virtual storage is used to form virtual disks (“VDs”) of virtual machines (“VMs”) comprising a virtual datacenter (“VDC”). Methods calculate a total virtual storage cost of the virtual storage from hardware costs and other costs such as labor, maintenance, facilities and licensing costs, which is used to calculate an HDD cost rate and an SSD cost rate. A cost of each VD is calculate based on virtual storage policy parameters, the HDD cost rate, and the SSD cost rate. The costs of the VDs associated with a VM are combined to obtain a VM storage cost. The VM storage costs may be combined to obtain the virtual storage cost of the VDC.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems that allocate costs of deploying and operating a virtual network to tenants that use the virtual network. In one implementation, costs are allocated to tenant virtual machines (“VMs”) by determining a network bandwidth of a virtual network, determining a common cost of operating the virtual network, determining a service capacity for each network service provided by the virtual network, and determining a service cost for each network service. A portion of the common cost is allocated to each VM based on the proportion of network bandwidth used by each VM, and a portion of the service cost is allocated to each VM based on the proportion of the service capacity used by each VM.
