Pricing Options
Dimension Data Public Compute-as-a-Service (CaaS) Regional Rate Plan
(RRP) pricing offers
unrivaled value and flexibility
with no vendor
lock-in. Whether you are a developer, small business or a multinational
corporation, you’ll enjoy the enterprise-class public cloud features that
you can consume in other global Dimension Data regions.
With flexible ( R R P ) pricing options, we provide cloud computing services and solutions to fit any budget and address the most demanding IT needs and application workloads requirements globally.
Unlike other cloud offerings, Dimension Data allows you to customise the CPU, RAM and storage for each server on the fly. You can adjust the CPU and RAM and add additional storage to any server you have deployed within our cloud, at any time.
In addition, Dimension Data bills you for CPU and RAM usage only when your server is actually running. For servers that are in a non-running state (stopped), you only pay for the storage that the server is using. If you delete a server, you stop paying for it, once deleted.

IT needs and application workloads.
The following is a detailed explanation of each of the pricing elements and how consumption is measured:
• CPU hours: Dimension Data bills for each hour that a CPU associated with a server is running. For example, a 2 CPU server running for 2 hours will generate 4 CPU hours. At the end of the day, Dimension Data totals the CPU hours generated by all of your Cloud Servers in a given data center and rounds up to the next integer on a daily basis.
• RAM hours: Dimension Data bills for each hour that a GB of RAM
associated with a server is running. For example, a 2 GB RAM server running for 2 hours will generate 4 RAM hours. At the end ofthe day, Dimension Data totals the RAM hours generated by all of your Cloud Servers in a given data center and rounds up to the next integer on a daily basis.
• Storage hours: Dimension Data bills for each hour that a GB of storage is associated with a server deployed from either an OS or Customer Image (regardless of whether or not it’s actually running).
For example, a 10 GB storage server deployed for four hours will generate 40 Storage hours regardless of whether it’s running. At the end of the day,
Dimension Data totals the Storage hours generated byall of your Cloud Servers and Customer Images in a given data center and rounds up to the next integer on a daily basis.
• Cloud networks: Dimension Data allows each customer to deploy one or more Cloud Networks (VLANs), protected by their own unique firewall, load balancer, and at least 2 public IP addresses.
• Additional public IP addresses:
Dimension Data allows customers to add additional IP addresses to their Cloud Networks in blocks of at least two Public IP addresses. Customers are charged for each additional public IP address added to a Cloud Network, regardless of whether that public IP address is in use. However, there is no charge for the public IP addresses that come pre- assigned with each Cloud Network
• Outbound and inbound data transfer: Dimension Data charges only for outbound traffic leaving each deployed Network environment. Dimension Data does NOT charge for inbound traffic entering each deployed Network environment. However, please note that traffic from one deployed Cloud Network to another deployed Cloud Networkwill still be counted as Outbound data transfer. Dimension Data bills based on the aggregate GB monthly traffic total, rounded up to the integer on a daily basis.
• Cloud Backup. Dimension data calculates charges based on Cloud Backup usage for each Cloud Server. Fees per Cloud Server = Plan Fees + Usage Fees.
Plan Fees = The rate per day per Cloud Server based on the Cloud Backup plan in use multiplied by the number of days (or part) in the month the plan was used on that Cloud Server
Usage Fees = The rate per GB Days based on the Cloud Backup plan in use multiplied by the Backend Storage consumed multiplied by multiplied by
the number of days (or part) in the month the plan was used on that Cloud Server "Backend Storage" means amount of storage (in GB) stored in the Cloud Backup Network used by the backup system for a particular Cloud Server. The storage requirement for a Cloud Server is a function of the size of the Cloud Server, the retention period selected and the amount of daily change on that Cloud Server. The Storage consumed is calculated after compression and de-duplication.
• Sub-administrator: Dimension Data Cloud provides the primary administrative account at no charge, but also allows each customer to create additional user accounts called Sub-Administrators.
• Software units: Software Units are only incurred when a Cloud Server is deployed from a Cloud Image that includes Cloud Software. Not all Cloud Images include Cloud Software. Cloud Software refersto commercial software loaded onto an image that incurs additional charges when deployed as a server. Cloud Software packages, as presented in theAdmin UI, incur additional charges based on one of two models:
- Per server cloud software incurs a specific rate of Software Units per hour
when a server is running and a specific rate per hour when a server is stopped. This hourly rate is the same regardless of the number of CPU’s configured on the server. Example: “Software A” is priced Per Server at a rate of 50 units per hour when the server is running and 25 units per hour when the server is stopped. If a 2 CPU Server is deployed in a running state for 2 hours and a stopped state for 1 hour, it will incur 125 software units (50 units x 2 hours running + 25 units x 1 hours stopped - Per CPU cloud software incurs a
specific rate of Software Units per hour per CPU when a server is running and a specific rate per hour per CPU when a server is stopped. In this case the overall rate varies based on the number of CPU associated with the server on which the Cloud Software
is deployed. Example: “Software B” is priced Per Server at a rate of 50 units per hour per CPU when the server is running and 25 units per hour per CPU when the server is stopped. If a 2 CPU Server is deployed in a running state for 2 hours and a stopped state for 1 hour, it will incur 250 software units (2 CPU x 50 units x 2 hours running + 2 CPU x 25 units x 1 hours stopped)
- If multiple Cloud Software packages are associated with a given Cloud Server or Cloud Image, the Software Units for each Cloud Software package are incurred. Once a server has been deployed from an OS Image with Cloud Software, all subsequent Customer Images created from the server will carry the same Priced Software packages and servers deployed from those Customer Images will incur the same charges.
- All Cloud Images and Servers with Cloud Software are labeled as such in the Admin UI and API along with a table describing the Software Units incurred by that specific OS Image/ Server. The Admin UI and API also offer an up-to-date catalog of all available Cloud Software packages with a description of their pricing models and current pricing.
• Multi-Location data centers: Multi- Location data centers refer to the
availability of different data locations in the same Geographic region (i.e. US-East and US-West in North America). In this case, the same Admin UI and API controls assets in each data center location within the same Geographic region. Dimension Data will aggregate the usage charges for each data center into a single total for billing purposes,
so all usage is billed under the pricing plan for that region.
•
• Multi-Geographic data centers: Multi-
Geographic data centers refer to the availability of data centers in different Geographic regions (i.e. Dimension Data Cloud service for data centers in the US and Europe). In this case, customers connect to a separate Admin UI and API to
control assets in each different geographic region. Customers must sign up for a separate pricing plan for each Geographic region. All usage within that region is billed under that region’s pricing plan
