Mainframe Utilization Rate Structure

In an effort to simplify the current rate structure and adjust the rates in accordance with current costs, the following rates have been reviewed with Grants and Contracts and are effective October 1, 1995. Towards simplification, we have included most of the previous miscellaneous charges into the basic processor charge. There are three categories of charges:
  1. CPU usage,
  2. disk usage, and
  3. print usage.
It is our hope that users who are attempting to monitor their costs will find this approach easier. Documentation on the rate structure is available in the usage note Mainframe Rate Structures available at the UITS Help Desk in M039.
Basic Processor (CPU usage) Prime Hours - $1030 per hour
(Mon-Fri, 9AM-8PM)
Basic Processor (CPU usage) Deferred Hours - $670 per hour
(Mon-Fri, 8PM-9AM; weekends; and holidays)
Cylinder (disk usage)
Cylinder (disk usage)
VM - $3.00 per cylinder per month
MVS - $1.50 per cylinder per month
Print (laser printer usage) $0.04 per page

If you have any questions after reviewing the rate structure, please call Kevin Wojcik, Assistant Director for Administration (486-1653).
