On Demand Solutions
Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) and Pay Per Use (PPU)
The iCOD and PPU software products are a part of the HP On Demand Solutions
program. The iCOD product is a purchase model in which processor capacity can be
instantly increased to accommodate increasing demands. PPU is a lease model in which
customers are charged only for actual processor usage.
NOTE The iCOD product was removed from the HP-UX Operating Environments at the HP-UX
11i June 2001 Release. You can find iCOD on the Support Plus media and at the
following web site:
http://software.hp.com.
There are three products associated with HP’s On Demand Solutions program. All of the
following products are available at http://software.hp.com:
• iCOD (product number B9073AA): You initially purchase a specified number of
activated processors and pay a right-to-access fee for a specified number of inactive
processors. After you activate an inactive processor, you pay an enablement fee.
• PPU (product number T1322AA): You pay only for the average processor usage,
based on a fixed/variable model.
• PPU (product number T2351AA): As of March 2003, there is a new Pay Per Use
(PPU) product in which customer charges are based on a percentage of processor
utilization.

September 2002
For September 2002, iCOD has been updated to version B.05.00. (See the following
section for the location of further documentation.)
New for iCOD version B.05.00 is temporary capacity. Temporary capacity is an HP
software product that enables iCOD customers to purchase (prepaid) processor
activation rights, for their iCOD processors, for a limited duration of time. See the
Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) User's Guide for version B.05.00 for details of the
temporary capacity product.
