The authors pricing model takes such factors into considerations as the amount of a service, the workload of an application environment, the configuration of a multiserver system, the service level agreement, the satisfaction of a consumer, the quality of a service, the penalty of a low quality service, the cost of renting, the cost of energy consumption and a service provider’s margin and profit.
