Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems that allocate the total cost of virtual storage created from hard disk drives (“HDDs”) and solid state drives (“SSDs”) of server computers and mass-storage devices of a cloud-computing facility are described. The virtual storage is used to form virtual disks (“VDs”) of virtual machines (“VMs”) comprising a virtual datacenter (“VDC”). Methods calculate a total virtual storage cost of the virtual storage from hardware costs and other costs such as labor, maintenance, facilities and licensing costs, which is used to calculate an HDD cost rate and an SSD cost rate. A cost of each VD is calculate based on virtual storage policy parameters, the HDD cost rate, and the SSD cost rate. The costs of the VDs associated with a VM are combined to obtain a VM storage cost. The VM storage costs may be combined to obtain the virtual storage cost of the VDC.
