Experts, We have setup Microsoft based Private Cloud solution based on System Center 2010 products. But, we have not implemented chargeback for this solution. Now, we are planning to build the Private cloud solution with the help of System Center 2012 suite of products. As a part of this, we are planning to use the SCOM 2012 Chargeback report for showing cost to users. We need to know can we use SCOM 2012 chageback report for private cloud and how it can help us. Thanks, Kumaresan

how it can help us? Your management may want to know why suddenly you want to raise a PO to buy additional server with extra resources. Then how can you justify different department or organization is utilizing the new resources. This is where chargeback system need to be in-place. With chargeback, you have a better understanding of where the server resources are allocated or actual usage. The Chargeback Report in SCOM produces cloud billing documents based on hourly consumption.
