Placing a Dollar Value on System Usage?

Posted by Cliff on from the estimating-costs-and-padding-fees dept.

Anonymous SysAdmin asks: "I wonder how do system admins put a dollar value on system resources? Nowadays we see many hosting providers calculating and summing system utilization like IO operations, processor usage, bandwidth, and RAM into the monthly charges (here's an example). How can they process this info and most importantly how can they put a dollar value on it? What are the common practices in the industry and what are the tools used?"
