Description: Join the VMware Chargeback team as they describe how VMware vCenter Chargeback will deliver a simple cost accounting structure for the virtualized environment in 2009. Using an allocation or utilization model (or perhaps both in combination), administrators will now have the ability to report on costs across storage, CPU, I/O and many other categories. In addition, fixed costs and additional metrics can be defined to truly provide a transparent chargeback model that can produce specific billing for organizational units within a business. This webcast will also have a product demo.

I hope you all enjoyed the webcast from yesterday about the next version of vCenter Server.

For those who never saw a VMware webcast: It’s a fun and easy way to further your knowledge about VMware and their range of products. Most of the webcasts are live in nature, but if you missed a webcast chances are that you can view it later at http://www.vmware.com/a/webcasts/recorded/

So: Enlighten yourself and view some of the great webcasts @ VMware.com

You probably noticed the last couple of weeks that everybody is talking about the next generation of virtualisation software from VMware.

In about an hour VMware is going to do a live webcast about vCenter Server.
