Virtualization Chargeback Reporting for Better IT Budgeting
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.

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.
