Enum Class Term

java.lang.Object

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Term>, Constable
public enum Term extends Enum<Term>
Commitment term for a priced resource. Equinix and cloud-provider pricing both vary by term length - longer commitments typically reduce the monthly recurring charge - so the term is an input to every rate-card lookup and a driver of savings calculations.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • MONTH_1

      public static final Term MONTH_1
      Month-to-month - no commitment; typically the highest monthly rate.

    • MONTH_12

      public static final Term MONTH_12
      12-month commitment - the default term across the value-realization builders.

    • MONTH_24

      public static final Term MONTH_24
      24-month commitment.

    • MONTH_36

      public static final Term MONTH_36
      36-month commitment - typically the lowest monthly rate.

      NullPointerException - if the argument is null

    • months

      public int months()
      The commitment length in months. This is the multiplier PriceQuote.totalOverTerm(Term) applies to the monthly-recurring charge (MRC × months() + NRC), and the value term-aware rate cards compare against a price row's own term length.
      Returns:
      the number of months in this commitment term
