What it does |
| Credit |
One-time credit deducted from your invoices until it is used up |
| Monthly |
Credit renewed at the start of every month |
| Discount |
Percentage discount applied to every invoice |
| Tiered |
Percentage discount that follows your number of connected servers |
When several vouchers apply to the same invoice, percentage discounts are computed on the full
invoice amount first, then credits absorb what remains.
A tiered voucher defines a discount per range of servers, for example a higher percentage from 50
servers and another one from 100. A range without a tier gets no discount.
The number of servers is derived from the billed hours of your servers, SNMP devices and vSphere
resources over the invoice period, mirroring the monthly cap of the
billing:
- a resource connected for at least 672 hours (28 days) in the month counts as one full server
- during the current month, a resource connected since the start of the month counts as one full
server
- the total is rounded to the nearest whole server, so a short outage of one server doesn’t make
you lose the discount of your tier
Invoices are recomputed every hour, so the discount automatically follows the actual number of
connected servers. The percentage applied is shown on the invoice.
