Temporary capacity provided by On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD) is measured and
billed in units called processor days or memory days.
- Requested processor or memory days
- Requested processor days or memory days equal the number of temporarily
activated processor cores or memory units multiplied by the number
of days that are specified on a request for temporary capacity using
On/Off CoD. After a request for temporary capacity is made on the
server, the server records one processor day for each requested processor
or one memory day for each requested memory unit at the beginning
of each 24-hour period that the request is running. One memory unit
is one GB of memory.
[number of processor cores or memory units]
* [number of requested days]
- Unreturned processor or memory days
- Unreturned processor days or memory days equal the number of days
(24-hour periods) that the temporarily activated processor cores or
memory units were used beyond the expiration of the request for temporary
capacity, multiplied by the number of requested processor cores or
memory units that are still in use.
[number of days processor cores
or memory units were used beyond expiration of temporary capacity
request] * [number of requested processor cores or memory units still
in use]
Tip: Unreturned processor or memory days are
charged at the beginning of each 24-hour period that the temporarily
activated processor cores or memory units are still being used after
the expiration of the request for temporary capacity.
