Generate reports

• SCVMM Server and Console installed• SCOM Console and Agent installed• SCSM Server and Data Warehouse installed and connected • Create one or more Clouds • Provision or assign VMs to the Clouds • Configure integration between SCVMM and SCOM• Verify that the right information is exchanged between SCOM

and SCVMM

Set Up Chargeback

• Check that Data Warehouse has been configured and registered

• Make sure that Excel 2010 or Excel 2013 is installed • Import the Chargeback Management Pack • Configure the SCOM connector in Service Manager • Create a view to see Clouds objects under Configuration Items • Configure Price sheet for Chargeback • Verify data has moved to data warehouse • Use Microsoft tools to analyze data for chargeback

Access data

After accessing the Data Warehouse to create OLAP Chargeback Cubes, chargeback data (infrastructure costs and pricing) is available for reportingCloud Cost, VM Cost and Total Cost are based on predefined price sheets that IT will set

You have several choices for reporting:

• Creating Chargeback reports

• Deploying dashboards through SharePoint

Traditional Service Management

• Pooled resources using Virtual Infrastructure

• SLA in hours/days• Capacity managed by the service provider

Cloud Optimized Service Management

• Capacity planning Shifts to the Service Provider

• Flexible Cost Models Enabled1. Identify Opex: What are my ongoing costs2. Identify Capex: What are my capital assets 3. Direct costs 4. Indirect costs

• Fair: One party or individual should not pay for others • Transparent: It should be clear to why the cost is applied to a cost

model. The bill should be easy to read and understandable by the person who receives the bill. Like in the old days we charged by MIPS, can you quantify the value per MIP? No that is way too difficult to understand what you are being charged for.
