Can anybody give me an idea of what sort of charge out rates to apply to external users using your machine on a commercial basis? We are an academic department with a network of Sun's with an outside interest wanting to use them, but I have no idea what sort of rate to apply. On what basis would people charge? Total connect time? cpu time? disk utilisation? Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. Regards, Grant.
