CiraSync Partners only: DSU Explanation

Microsoft and most SaaS subscriptions are based on months of services. CiraSync also has the same model for customer subscriptions.

However, CiraSync has adopted a daily subscription model for Managed Service Provider (MSP) billing. Here is how DSU’s (Daily Subscription Units) are used.

The MSP purchases a DSU package from CiraSync. Let’s says the package is for 5000 DSU’s Rules:

● There are 25 billable days in each billing cycle.
The total licensed users across all tenants is aggregated to a daily DSU
consumption.
The DSU consumption on the 1st day of the month is the initial Peak DSU.
If the DSU consumption increases above yesterday’s Peak DSU, today’s
consumption is the new
Peak DSU.
The Peak DSU cannot be reduced until the 26th of the month.
From the 26th to the end of the month, there is no consumption charge for any
licensed users.
