当今数据中心的租户的性能和成本取决于其虚拟机在数据中心内的位置。然而，租户的位置是提供商的一个旋钮，租户不感兴趣。因此，本文认为，位置无关的租户成本在零售商。我们展示了如何改变当今的IaaS产品，再加上一个简单的定价方案，可以实现这一目标。我们讨论了如何实现这样的定价模型，并表明，随之而来的系统吞吐量的增加，可以导致一个双赢的局面-租户的成本是独立的位置和较低的，而提供商的收入也增加了。
The performance and cost for tenants in today's datacenters depends on the location of their virtual machines within the datacenter. However, a tenant's location is a knob for the provider and is of no interest to the tenant. Hence, this paper argues for location independent tenant costs in datacenters. We show how a change in today's IaaS offerings, coupled with a simple pricing scheme, can achieve this. We discuss how such a pricing model can be implemented and show that the consequent increase in system throughput can lead to a win-win situation- tenant costs are location independent and lower while provider revenue increases too.
