MarkLogic Capacity Units Year
About MarkLogic Capacity Units Year in MarkLogic Data Hub Service
MarkLogic Capacity Units (MCUs) Year is a contract that enables you to purchase a baseline level of MCUs in bulk and at a discount. Contracts are for each region and applied hourly to your bill based on compute usage. MCUs Year applies to Standard and Low Priority Data Hub Service types.
For details about MCUs Year pricing and to purchase an MCUs Year contract, please contact your MarkLogic Account Executive or Sales Representative.
Example
The following examples further explain how MCUs Year contracts are applied to your bill:
In all examples, assume you purchased an MCUs Year contract for 128 MCUs in the West US 2 region, meaning you can consume up to 128 MCUs per hour in the West US 2 region. If you consume more than 128 MCUs per hour in the West US 2 region, any amount of MCUs in a different region, or any amount of MCUs in a Low Priority service, your contract will not apply.
MCU consumption is greater than MCUs Year contract
In this example, the first Standard service (64 MCUs), the second Standard service (64 MCUs), and the third Standard service (64 MCUs) are running. In total, your hourly compute usage is 192 MCUs per hour (64 + 64 + 64). Compute usage for the first service (64 MCUs) and the second service (64 MCUs) is completely covered by the contract. However, you are charged full price for the third service (64 MCUs) because the additional compute usage is not covered by the contract.
MCU consumption is less than MCUs Year contract
In this example, the first Standard service (64 MCUs) is stopped and the second Standard service (64 MCUs) is running. In total, your hourly compute usage is 64 MCUs per hour. Compute usage for the second service (64 MCUs) is completely covered by the contract. You are not charged compute usage for the first service (64 MCUs) because the service is stopped.
MCU consumption is equal to MCUs Year contract
In this example, the first Standard service (64 MCUs) and the second Standard service (64 MCUs) are running. In total, your hourly compute usage is 128 MCUs per hour. Compute usage for the first service (64 MCUs) and the second service (64 MCUs) is completely covered by the contract.
Services are stopped
In this example, both Standard services are stopped. When services are stopped, you are not charged compute usage.
MCU consumption in a region not included in MCUs Year contract
In this example, two Standard services are running in the West US 2 region: the first service (64 MCUs) and the second service (64 MCUs). Additionally, the third Standard service (64 MCUs) is running in the Central US region. In total, your hourly compute usage is 192 MCUs per hour (64 + 64 + 64). Compute usage for the first service (64 MCUs) and the second service (64 MCUs) is completely covered by the contract. However, you are charged full price for the third service (64 MCUs) because the Central US region is not covered by the contract.
