2.1 - Overview

Service Overview

Planned Compute is a pricing policy that allows you to use resources at a discounted price of up to 40% compared to non-contracted prices, with a condition of contracting for a 1-year or 3-year server type. It applies to resources of non-contracted Compute services, Database services, and Data Analytics services. If the attributes applied to Planned Compute match the attributes of non-contracted target resources, the discounted price of Planned Compute is automatically applied. You can check the discounted details of Planned Compute through the report and apply for additional Planned Compute if necessary.

Features

Planned Compute is a contract-based discount service provided by Samsung Cloud Platform, which allows you to choose the desired operating system and server type to use. It has high flexibility as you can apply for a discount for a contract period of 1 to 3 years without specifying a specific resource.

  • Discounted Pricing: Planned Compute is a discounted pricing policy that allows you to use resources at a lower cost, up to 40% off the on-demand price, with a 1-year or 3-year commitment. It applies to resources in the Compute service category, Analytics service category, and Database service category, and if the attributes applied to Planned Compute match the attributes of the on-demand resources, the Planned Compute discounted price is automatically applied.
  • Various feature support: Planned Compute provides various features such as application, extension, server type change, etc. When applying for Planned Compute, select the contract discount target service, operating system, server type, and contract period, and enter the application quantity to apply.
  • Convenient management and monitoring: Through the Planned Compute list check, you can check the Planned Compute usage information and modify the application information when changing the contract conditions are required.

  • Planned Compute Service Application: You can apply for Planned Compute by selecting the service, operating system, server type, and contract period you want to offer discounts for, and then entering the application quantity and confirming the application information.
  • Planned Compute Extension: When the contracted period ends, the corresponding Planned Compute will be terminated and no further discounts will be applied to the non-contracted resources. The termination of Planned Compute does not mean that the non-contracted resources will be cancelled. If you want to extend the discount period, you can reserve the next contract period after the contract period ends through the contract extension feature.
  • Planned Compute Server Type Change: The server type of Planned Compute can be changed to a value higher than the set value.
  • Planned Compute Cancellation: Although it is possible to cancel unused Planned Compute, 50% of the remaining period usage fee will be charged 2 months after cancellation. Planned Compute cancellation does not mean the cancellation of non-contracted resources.
  • Coverage Check: You can check the discount coverage of the resource usage amount by service, operating system, and server type. By selecting the desired period, it displays the name of the on-demand resource, usage time, the amount that would have been used without a discount, and the amount that Planned Compute could not cover. This allows you to check the difference in billing amount between on-demand usage and Planned Compute usage.
