Scale units are licensed per tenant to enable companies to execute mission-critical processes without interruption even during periods of peak demand. Scale units are offered in three different sizes: Basic, Standard or Premium, with each having a different capacity limit for the number of Operations – Devices supported.
The Premium capacity limit is 500 devices/tenant/month. Scale units may be in the cloud or self-hosted. You may buy additional scale units if you need additional Commerce cloud environment(s) for co-location, performance, additional redundancy, or customization purposes.
Commerce Scale Unit – Cloud After the minimum Commerce purchase requirements have been met, you are entitled with default Commerce Scale Unit – Cloud when buying licenses with device use rights. These scale units may only be used to support device transactions. Default Commerce Scale Unit – Cloud entitlements are based on number of licenses with indicative device use rights.
