Several data center services in the service catalog charge the customer on the actual usage...

When customers are billed based on the actual consumption of services, this model is known asMeasured Resource Usage (MRU).

MRU charges customers according to:

Actual power consumption

Actual cooling usage

Actual rack utilization

Actual bandwidth or cross-connect usage

Actual resource usage metrics

This model aligns with transparency, fairness, and resource accountability.

Why other options are incorrect:

A – SBP: Charges based on predefined service definitions, not usage.

B – NFR: A single negotiated flat fee, regardless of usage.

C – TFR: Flat fee bands or tiers, independent of precise usage.

Thus,D – MRUis correct.
