7 Product Specific Usage Information For purposes of this Product Usage Guide, a Cloud or "Hosted IT Service" means the provision of subscription services created by a Service Provider for its third party customers that: (i) provide access to processing power, computing, or software applications from systems that are installed and operated by Service Provider and shared among its customers; and (ii) may only be accessed via the Internet or dedicated network. Licensing Specific Usage Information VSPP allows for Service Providers to install and use VSPP Products on their site as part of a multi-tenant Hosted IT Service. All of the VSPP Products must be installed and used solely by the Service Provider on their owned or leased hardware and premises with the following exception: The Site Recovery Manager Protection licenses may be installed on a hosting customer s premises as long as Service Provider controls all hardware and administration associated with the hosted environment. The VMware vsphere Data Protection Advanced licenses may be installed on hosting customer s premises as long as Service Provider controls all hardware and administration associated with the hosted environment. Prior written approval is required from the VSPP Program Office for any deviation from these installation requirements. Overview Service Providers must report usage of VSPP Products to the Aggregator from which they procure the VSPP Product license entitlements using the following methods: The VMware vcloud Usage Meter is used to monitor the vcloud Service Provider Bundles, vcenter Operations Manager, VMware Site Recovery Manager, VMware Horizon Workspace and Zimbra Collaboration Server. Service Providers must install the vcloud Usage Meter to monitor and report usage information to their Aggregator. Separate license keys must be identified by the vcloud Usage Meter in order to meter the Cloud Test Demonstration Environment to report usage information to their Aggregator. VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) servers must be identified and linked to vcenter Servers in order to report on protected virtual machines. To find out the number of VMs protected by VMware VDP Advanced, use the following command line interface (CLI) command in VMware VDP Advanced locally or remotely via SSH connection: mccli client show --verbose --recursive=true grep 'Virtual Machine' wc l All other VSPP Products not supported by VMware vcloud Usage Meter must be manually reported to the Aggregator under the specific data collection process outlined by the Aggregator. The total of these submissions will be used by the Aggregator to calculate the total point usage for the month. See the VMware Service Provider Program Guide for information on the Cloud Test Demonstration Environment. For all products in this guide, unless otherwise stated, usage total consists of the total of all products used. The Service Provider Agreement requires Service Provider to retain certain records relating to usage. Those records include all data used for reporting, including but not limited to the Usage Meter data and reports. All data must be maintained for a minimum of 2 years.

13 and Operational Details for VMware vcloud Service Provider Bundles and Other Standalone Products The information in this section applies to metering the usage of products and bundles in VSPP. NOTE: This section is a summary of the required information for the vcloud Usage Meter. The complete documentation is available on Partner Central at the following locations: Usage Meter User Guide Usage Meter FAQ Usage Meter Training Videos vcloud Usage Meter is available for download as a free virtual appliance and licenses under VMware s standard End User License Agreement (EULA): Note: Service Providers must be registered users of the My VMware site in order to download the vcloud Usage Meter. Information the vcloud Usage Meter Collects The vcloud Usage Meter collects the following information on an hourly basis: Time at which data is collected Host DNS name Host RAM (physical memory) vsphere license type Virtual machine vcenter name (optional field for Service Providers that is not included in the detailed billing report) Virtual machine host name (optional field for Service Providers that is not included in the detailed billing report) vram (allocated virtual memory) Billing vram (calculation based on reserved virtual memory and memory cap per virtual machine) Virtual machine CPU (count of virtual CPUs) Virtual machine instance UUID (universal unique identifier) Virtual machine location in vsphere inventory A count of Zimbra mailboxes by edition Horizon Workspace disk usage Collected data is stored in the vpostgres database of the virtual appliance itself. How Information is Sent to Aggregators for Billing Purposes Service Providers report to their Aggregators in the agreed to method between them and the Aggregator. Reports generated by the Usage Meter can be sent to Aggregators if requested but are not required to be sent as part of the VSPP Program requirements, Note: All data is due to the Aggregator by the date specified in the Aggregator contract. Service Providers must adhere to reporting requirements that are designated in their Aggregator contract. Additionally, Service Providers must use the vcloud Usage Meter to generate their usage report for billing purposes. Information that is Available in the Customer Report V S P P P R O D U C T U S A G E G U I D E / 13

14 The customer report includes the customer name, vsphere license type, if the usage is billable, and the amount of billed vram including memory cap per virtual machine consumed for the month. In addition to the ability to display details in individual customer records, Service Providers also have the ability to filter existing reports (for example, a Detailed Billing Report, Detailed Usage Report, Customer Summary Report, and License Summary Report) with the following filters: By customer: o o o Names: Filter based on a single customer, multiple customers, or all customers Country: Filter based on a single country, multiple countries, or all countries Postal Code: Filter based on a postal code, multiple postal codes, or all postal codes By license set: Filter based on one or more user-defined license sets By month/year: Filter based on a single month and year as well as the option to provide a range limited to month and year Figure 1. Sample License Summary Report filtered by month/year How To Manage Customer Information In order to prevent an excessive amount of manual data entry, the vcloud Usage Meter enables users to import and export customer lists. Users can also create, read, update, and delete customers and customer relationships to virtual machines with the vcloud Usage Meter. V S P P P R O D U C T U S A G E G U I D E / 14

15 Note: The following italicized sections are applicable only for users of older editions of Usage Meter. Stating with v3.2, Usage Meter calculates this data for Service Providers, so the manual steps described in Italics are not needed How Points Are Calculated on Usage Data (Applicable only when using Usage Meter version older than 3.2) The VMware vcloud Service Provider Bundles are charged as per aggregated reserved RAM usage, and charging is done through a monthly point system where months can have the following number of days: 28-day months = 672 hours 29-day months = 696 hours 30-day months = 720 hours 31-day months = 744 hours The formula for calculating net points is: Net points = (vgb hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM)/hours per month vgb = Virtual Gigabyte How the Formula Works Points per 1 GB reserved RAM o o o 5 points per 1 GB Reserved RAM for VMware vcloud Service Provider Bundle Standard Edition 7 points per 1 GB Reserved RAM for VMware vcloud Service Provider Bundle Premier Edition 10 points per 1 GB Reserved RAM for VMware vcloud Service Provider Bundle Premier Plus Edition vgb hours are calculated with consideration of floor (minimum value) and ceiling (maximum value) values o o The floor value is equal to a minimum of 50 percent vram reservation. For example, if you set vram reservation below the floor value, to 35%, your usage will be metered at the minimum, viz. 50%. The ceiling value or a 24-GB cap is the maximum value that could be charged. For example, if you are consuming 1 terabyte of vgb hours, then you will only be billed for 24 GB of vgb hours. Example During one 30-day calendar month, a Service Provider uses the vcloud Service Provider Bundle Premier Edition to configure her virtual machine with 16 vgb for 15 days and 48 vgb for the remaining 15 days. The reservation level for the virtual machine is set at 75 percent for the entire month. 15 days x 24 hours x 16 vgb x 0.75 = 4,320 vgb hours 15 days x 24 hours x 24 vgb (48 vgb x 0.75 but capped at 24GB) = 8,640 vgb hours Total vgb hours = 12,960 vgb hours Total points = 12,960 vgb hours 720 hours/month x 7 points (for Premier) = 126 points The Service Provider must report the usage data provided by the vcloud Usage Meter each month to his or her Aggregator. At the individual product level, the amount reported can be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Steps for Calculating Net Points (Applicable only when using Usage Meter version older than 3.2) To calculate net points based on your usage data, you will use the License Summary Report and possibly the Product Report. The License Summary Report screen is shown in Figure 2: V S P P P R O D U C T U S A G E G U I D E / 15

34 VMware Virtual SAN VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) is a radically simple software-defined storage solution optimized for virtual environments that brings an application-centric approach to storage management. Built directly into the VMware vsphere kernel, VMware VSAN provides a new tier of hypervisor-converged storage. The software abstracts and pools internal magnetic disks and flash devices from industry-standard x86 servers to produce a high-performance and resilient shared datastore for virtual machines (VMs). VMware VSAN helps customers reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through Capital Expenditures (Capex) and Operating Expenditures (Opex) savings. VMware VSAN is ideally suited for several use cases in virtual environments such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), test/development, and disaster recovery points per GB per month for allocated capacity The allocated capacity is defined as the storage capacity configured to a virtual machine disk (VMDK). At creation, a virtual machine is assigned one or more VMDKs; the total allocated capacity to the virtual machine is equal to the sum of the allocated capacity to each VMDK. The allocated capacity is the capacity configured to a virtual machine during provisioning, irrespective of: the actual storage consumption (e.g. thin provisioning). the capacity consumed by VM copies created by Virtual SAN for availability purposes. the total raw storage capacity of the Virtual SAN datastore.
