Setting Global Price
Specify the cost of storing and processing data with the Global Price options. You can set Global Price options only for Private Metrics Reporting. Global Price options do not appear in the Chargeback Report on the Cloud Services Portal. Prices set in billing tags override the Global Price setting for the entity specified in the Billing Tag. For more information on billing tags, see Billing Tags.
To set the global pricing for backups and archives in GB, convert the GB value to TB in decimals, using 1 TB= 1024GB. For example, to set the cost for 600 GB: (1/1024)*600= 0.586 TB.
