Credit Consumption Report for Hybrid Workloads

Updated this week

Overview

The Credit Consumption report shows the monthly consumption of credits for a specified period. By default, this period is set to 12 months. An administrator can view the report and download it. There is a provision to schedule this report as well. The report will be scheduled on the first day of every month at the time set by the administrator. Before getting into the details of this report, let's briefly know about Druva credits and credits consumption. There are different sections of Credits Consumption on the report such as Storage, Early deletion of LTR or Archive data, and Additional Resources. In addition to that savings options like LTR Savings and Archive savings are displayed along with the Credit Balance and Credit Term.


📝 Note
This report is not generated for customers who are onboarded through the AWS Marketplace or are in the non-term contract.


Credits

Credits describe the prepaid storage that is consumed as the data is stored in the Cloud. One Druva credit allows you to store 1 TB of deduplicated data in the Cloud for one month. A credit is expressed in TB-Month.

You can pre-purchase the Druva credits depending on the volume of your organization’s data to be stored in the Cloud. For example, if your organization needs to store an average of 10 TB of deduplicated data in the Cloud each month for the next one year, you need to purchase 120 credits (TB-Months) that would be consumed as data is stored in the Cloud.

Credit consumption

Druva billing mechanism charges for the actual storage consumed in the Cloud. The Management Console displays the balance credits in TB-Months. However, for more accurate calculation, Druva calculates the actual credits in TB-Days and then converts the value into TB-Months. Druva converts the credits in TB-Months into a daily equivalent in TB-Days by dividing the credits by 12 and multiplying by 365.

One TB-Month = (1/12)*365 = 30.42 TB-Days

Credits are then reduced by the daily amount stored in the Cloud, after deduplication. If the Cloud stores 1 TB data over 30.42 days, Druva consumes one credit.
