How Am I Billed for SDRS?

Billing Modes

• Billing for SDRS is for the service only and does not cover protected resources such as ECSs and EVS disks.
• You are billed by the number of protected instances and usage duration (hour). SDRS supports two billing modes: pay-per-use and resource package. For details, see Product Pricing Details.
  • Pay-per-use: Price of a single protected instance = Usage duration (hour) x Unit price
  • Resource package: It is similar to traffic packages for mobile phone users. Each resource package contains 744-hour available duration. For details, see How Do I Use a Resource Package?
• Billing modes of production site resources purchased by users will not change. Billing modes of DR site resources created by SDRS will be billed based on a pay-per-use basis. DR site servers are stopped by default. See the ECS and EVS pricing details for more information.
  

  • If DCC resources use SDRS for disaster recovery, the DR site resources must also be DCC resources. Or, disaster recovery using SDRS will fail.
  • With SDRS, you pay only for the resources you use. If the DR site resources, such as DCC and DSS resources, have been purchased, no additional pricing applies.

Billing After Switchovers

After users perform a switchover or failover, billing modes of the protected resources, such as ECSs and EVS disks, will not change, even if the production site and DR site have switched.

Billing for Disaster Recovery Drills

SDRS automatically creates drill resources, which are billed based on a pay-per-use basis. No additional drill pricing applies.

• If DCC resources use SDRS for disaster recovery, the drill resources created are also from the user's DCC resources.
• With SDRS, you pay only for the resources you use. If the drill resources, such as DCC and DSS resources, have been purchased, no additional pricing applies.
