Management can modify user behavior and resource
consumption, without playing a centralized/
directive role, by adjusting pricing through
the chargeback system. User behavior based on
targeted pricing can extend intervals between
upgrades, reduce levels of non-prioritpy rocessing
during peak demand periods, and encourage
adoption of more efficient products.
A fundamental analysis of computing costs must
be made to provide a basis for selecting a pricing
strategy that identifies target priorities and defines
desired user resource consumption behavior.
