In addition to the total number of physical CPU cores, the cost of Capacity Based Licensing for a Nutanix Cluster is calculated using the RAW total storage in TiB. This approach ensures that both computational and storage resources are accounted for when determining the licensing costs.

Physical CPU Cores: The number of physical CPU cores is the primary factor in the licensing cost calculation.

Raw Total Storage: This includes the total raw capacity of all storage devices (both SSDs and HDDs) present in the cluster, measured in tebibytes (TiB).
