Virtual Application Container Services

• Provision virtual & physical containers

in < six logical steps through UCS Director

• Containers are regulatory compliant

• Single license for all components

N1000V, CSR 1000V, VSG

• Licensed per server (50 VMs)

• Simplicity

• Automatically defines & deploys secure

containers for server admins

• Deploys on multiple hypervisors

Following are the features of the chargeback module:



Flexibility—Provides fixed costs, one-time costs, allocation costs, usage costs, and a combination of all,

based on the organizational requirements.



Reusable Cost Models—Assigns cost models to VMs using standardized cost models or templates. These

templates are used to apply cost models to new environments quickly.



Reporting—Generates various summary and comparison reports of costs and resource usage for the

virtual infrastructure. These reports are exported to PDF, CSV, and XLS formats and allows you to view

them within a web browser.



Top 5 Reports—Monitors the top five reports for organizations or groups with the highest VM cost, CPU,

memory, storage and network costs.



Dashboard—Monitors and analyzes VM metering information and chargeback in real time with the built-in

dashboard and extensive set of graphical widgets.
