| # Qualifying Systems | The number of systems which qualify for this discount. The number is shown both for the entire department and just for this account. The systems must have the same Support Person in order to qualify. Qualifying systems are identified by an asterisk (*) to the left of their nodename. |

Additional Terms for Static Data

| Qualifying System | The EZ-Backup nodename for the system qualifying for the discount. This system must meet the qualifications for the >100 GB Static Data Rate. |
| Extra Storage | The amount of EZ-Backup storage in excess of 50 GB that’s being used by one system. |
| Extra Storage >100GB | The amount of Extra Storage in excess of 100 GB. This is the amount of storage which receives the discount. |
| Credit for Extra Storage >100GB | The savings represented by the lower storage rate for Extra Storage exceeding 100 GB. The credit rate is the difference between the “>100GB Static Data Rate” and the “Extra Storage Rate.” This is because the extra storage in excess of 100 GB is given both discounts. |
