Tenant bandwidth usage reporting

Hi Guys,

I need a way of billing my tenants for the WAN bandwidth they use.

We're currently using a very messy approach that doesn't work well so I'm wondering what other providers are doing for their IaaS Bandwidth billing.

This may be the wrong forum for this, if there is a better place to ask the question please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Ben

i don’t think there’s a monitoring counter for this. Likely you’d need something like vRealise Network Insight or similar.

In vRealize Business for Cloud 7.4, there's a network services section where you can set a one-time charge and daily recurring charge for data in/out and bandwidth. I have not directly set this up, but something to potentially look at to see if it meets your requirements.
