HP Pay per use
The HP Pay per use (PPU) program is a lease model in which customers are charged only
for the computing capacity that they use. The PPU software (HP product T2351AA)
provides services for metering resource utilization. The current version is
B.11.11.08.00.01.
Summary of Change
• In September 2005, PPU version B.07.00.01 was delivered on the HP-UX 11i v1
Operating Environments and provided the following features:
— The name of the product (formerly Pay Per Use) was changed to HP Pay per use.
— The software has been updated to include the required SSL certificate for
communication from the PPU software to the utility meter.
— The current release of PPU (version B.07.00.01) allows either pricing model,
CPU active or percent utilization, to be used as the metric.
Additionally, a processor cap can be specified with the current version of PPU.
