The never ending argument as old as timesharing.
A few hints toward fairness: License costs center on the number of cores required to “solve” peak load. The “demand” charge for cpu might well be fairly charged more than the integrated sum of all cpu at non-peak times.
Storage acreage is usually a fixed cost, but demand i/o operations may likewise be a reasonable swag for variable cost.
It may be reasonable to roughly figure these costs without turning chargeback on, especially if licensee cost dominates as opposed to non-peak usage.

The biggest problem with it is not the technology. It works and it works well. However, I have seen customers argue for HOURS about what cost to put on the chargeback items. J

Hi,
has anyone used that feature? Are there any pitfalls? Some of my clients are looking for consultancy in that area.
