ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying a variable pricing model for a service includes a user device configured to send a request for the service, a processing server within a resource infrastructure, wherein the processing server is configured to receive the request from the user device, and a resource management module associated with the resource infrastructure and the processing server. The resource management module is configured to detect current system utilization of the resource infrastructure connected to the user device, calculate a current price of the service based on current system utilization, and forward the current price to the user device requesting the service.
