DATA CENTER AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A data center comprising:
- a server hosting a plurality of virtual machines; and
an information processing device configured toreceive from a user terminal device, communicatively connected to the data center, a usage request for the use of a service executed by one of the plurality of virtual servers for a finite period of time, the finite period of time occurring within a first time period,obtain from a memory, in response to the usage request, data indicating previous usage duration time of the service by the user terminal device and a usage fee per unit time associated with the previous usage duration time,calculate a cumulative usage fee for the usage request based on the finite period of time included in the usage request, the previous usage duration time of the service by the user terminal device, and the usage fee per unit time associated with the previous usage duration time, andoutput the predicted cumulative usage fee.

Abstract
A data center includes a server, which hosts a plurality of virtual machines, and an information processing device. The information processing device is configured to receive from a user terminal device, which is communicatively connected to the data center, a usage request for the use of a service executed by one of the plurality of virtual servers for a finite period of time. The finite period of time occurs within a first time period. The information processing device is configured to calculate a cumulative usage fee for the usage request based on the finite period of time included in the usage request, a previous usage duration time of the service by the user terminal device, and a usage fee per unit time associated with the previous usage duration time. The information processing device is configured to output the predicted cumulative usage fee.

8. An information processing device communicatively connected to a server executing a plurality of virtual machines, the information processing device comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to receive from a user terminal device, communicatively connected to the server, a usage request for the use of a service executed by one of the plurality of virtual servers for a finite period of time, the finite period of time occurring within a first time period, obtain from the memory, in response to the usage request, data indicating previous usage duration time of the service by the user terminal device and a usage fee per unit time associated with the previous usage duration time, calculate a cumulative usage fee for the usage request based on the finite period of time included in the usage request, the previous usage duration time of the service by the user terminal device, and the usage fee per unit time associated with the previous usage duration time, and output the predicted cumulative usage fee.
