Release: VKernel Chargeback with Hyper-V 2.6

VKernel has released version 2.6 of its Chargeback with Hyper-V product adding support for Hyper-V Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).Chargeback with Hyper-V is capable of measuring actual or allocated resource usage by application or business group.

Chargeback with Hyper-V is provided as a Virtual Appliance which provides similar functionality as the VKernel Chargeback product for VMware environments which VKernel recently combined with their report module and rebranded as vOps Reporting and Chargeback becoming part of their vOperations Suite. Chargeback with Hyper-V collects information directly from System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and connects into the SCVMM Self Service Portal.

VKernel is working on synchronizing the functionality of Chargeback with Hyper-V with the vOps Reporting and Chargeback product eventually providing the same functionality from the vOperations Suite, which is either a Virtual Appliance which runs on a VMware or a Hyper-V environment. Pricing starts at $299 per socket per application.
