Data Center Migration Assessment Benchmark Pricing — General Availability

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Benchmark Pricing in the Data Center Migration Assessment. You will be able to opt-in to this feature by clicking on the banner that will appear on the dashboard or going to Setup > Admin > Pricing. Once enabled, it will set the Data Center module to use benchmark pricing, which is a standard price for Data Center Assets. Enabling this will also show a new report called the Cost Driver History Report which will give a break down of derived costs, known as Cost Drivers. This report will allow you to view costs for License, Facility, Storage, Server Hardware Cost, Network, Maintenance, Labor, and Additional Cost. These changes will make your data center visibility more granular and help you make better decisions.

Learn more about Benchmark Pricing and the Cost Driver History Report in these Help Center articles.

New Convertible RI Exchanger Option

Based on customer feedback, you can now limit the combination of your source reservations to those that expire in the same month. The benefit of this new option is that it will prevent the reservation term from being extended for any given reservation, which will help customers maintain the 1 year or 3 year terms of their reservations.
