Dynamic unit resource usage price calibrator for a virtual data center

摘要

Techniques for performing dynamic cost per unit resource usage in a virtual data center are described. In one example embodiment, an initial unit resource usage price is received for the virtual data center for a first cycle. Further, capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) information of the virtual data center of the first cycle is obtained. Furthermore, a target return on investment (ROI) for the virtual data center for a second cycle is received. A unit resource usage price is then computed for the second cycle using the received initial unit resource usage price for the first cycle and the CAPEX and OPEX information of the first cycle. The unit resource usage price is then dynamically calibrated for the second cycle using the computed unit resource usage price and the target ROI.

1. A method of dynamically calibrating a unit resource usage price in a virtual data center, the method comprising:
receiving an initial unit resource usage price for the virtual data center for a first cycle; obtaining capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) information of the virtual data center of the first cycle; receiving a target return on investment (ROI) for the virtual data center for a second cycle; computing a unit resource usage price for the second cycle using the received initial unit resource usage price for the first cycle and the CAPEX and OPEX information of the first cycle; and dynamically calibrating the unit resource usage price for the second cycle using the computed unit resource usage price and the target ROI.
