About Chargeback for Applications
Chargeback helps you manage departmental ownership, track cost and assemble business reports
making inquires, such as audits and inventory reviews, easier.
The management server provides the following types of chargeback.
• Asset-based - Asset-based chargeback calculates chargeback based on the departmental
ownership percentages and the depreciated value of the assets. Each piece of equipment is
owned by a department or a set of departments. Each department has a percentage ownership
of the equipment.
• Storage-based - Storage-based chargeback calculates charges based on the actual amount of
storage used by an application, the type of storage it is using and the ownership percentage
assigned to each department. The chargeback number is further refined by an additional fixed
infrastructure tax on a per department basis.
