iCOD and Pay Per Use Version B.04.00
Hewlett-Packard’s instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) and pay per use (PPU) software
products provide the ability to increase or decrease processor capacity instantly on
(specified) enterprise servers. iCOD and PPU software products are a part of the HP
Utility Pricing Solutions program.
There are two products associated with HP’s Utility Pricing Solutions program:
• 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. Pay per use is a new product and is available in
September 2001.
Locating iCOD Information
For versions previous to iCOD 4.0, the Release Notes contain two types of information:
