ITS Private Cloud Billing

Dear ITS Private Cloud customer,

Starting May 1st, 2024, we will enter Phase 2 of our structured rate adjustment for the ITS Private Cloud service. This initiative, first introduced in March 2023, outlines a strategic approach to modifying our pricing structure.

For detailed information on these changes, please refer to the original announcement available at ITS Private Cloud Billing and Rate Changes.

Below, you will find a table outlining the updated pricing for your reference.

Thank you for collaborating with us on secure, on-premises private cloud services at the University. We are dedicated to excellence in service and support, continually seeking improvement and valuing your feedback as we enhance our offerings.

Sincerely,

Jose Manuel Lopez Lujan

Key Takeaways

  • Phase 2 of the ITS Private Cloud Rate Changes will be effective May 1, 2024.
  • EIS rates are competitive with public cloud hosting solutions, especially when associated costs including bandwidth are factored in.
  • EIS includes bandwidth free of charge.
  • Note the 3 new tiers of storage which have different rates: HDD (spinning hard disk), SSD (solid state disk) and iSCSI (iSCSI attached block storage).
  • The type of storage allocated can be selected when virtual machines are created (note: iSCSI storage must be arranged by special request and cannot be selected as an option).
