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 (ODS)
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.
There are two ODS products available from the HP-UX 11i v1 and Applications Software
media:
• Codeword iCOD (product number B9073BA): You initially purchase a specified
number of activated system components and license deactivated system components
for activation through the application of right-to-use codewords.
• Pay Per Use (product number T2351AA): You pay only for the usage of processors,
based on either the CPU Active or percent utilization metric.
Temporary capacity (TiCOD) is available for the iCOD software product. TiCOD 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
appropriate Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) User's Guide for details of the TiCOD
product.
All of the iCOD and PPU software products are available from the HP Software Depot
located on the HP web site: http://software.hp.com. Both Codeword iCOD and PPU
are also available on the Operating Environments media: Codeword iCOD as an
always-installed product and PPU as a selectable product. (See “Codeword iCOD” on
page 112 and “Pay Per Use” on page 162.)
