HP Utility Pricing allows financial decisions on investments to be postponed until sufficient information is available. It
allows customers to align their costs with revenues, thereby allowing customers to transition from fixed to variable cost
structures. This more flexible approach allows customers to size their compute capacity consistent with incoming revenues
and Service Level Objectives. HP Utility Pricing encompasses just-in- time purchased capacity, pay-per-forecast based on
planned usage, as well as pay-per-use via metered usage. All offerings are industry leading performance solutions to our
customers.
Customers are able to pay for what they use with this new processing paradigm. The usage payments are comprised of both
fixed and variable amounts, with the latter based on average monthly CPU usage. Additionally, with HP retaining ownership
of the server, technology obsolescence and underutilized processing assets are no longer a customer concern. This is the
cornerstone of HP's pay-as-you-go Utility Pricing. Customers will be able to benefit from their servers as a "compute utility".
Customers will choose when to apply additional CPU capacity and will only be charged when the additional processing
power is utilized. Real-life examples of processing profiles that benefit from Pay per Use are season spikes and month-end
financial closings.
The utility program is mutually exclusive mutually exclusive mutually exclusive mutually exclusive with iCOD. In order to take part in this program, the utility metering agent
(T1322AA) must be ordered.
