How does the billing process work?
The billing process for Dell APEX Infrastructure involves collecting usage data through the Utility Configuration Collector software. This data is securely transmitted, validated, and processed to create pre-invoice reports. For example, server usage is measured by processor utilization, while storage is based on consumed capacity. Notably, billing is capped at 85% of total installed capacity, meaning you won't be charged for usage beyond that threshold.
