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.

There are four products associated with HP's On Demand Solutions program:

Temporary capacity (TiCOD) is available for both iCOD software products. 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 Percent Utilization are also available on the Operating Environments media: Codeword iCOD as an always-installed product and PPU Percent Utilization as a selectable product. (See “Codeword iCOD” and “PPU Percent Utilization”.)

For details of the iCOD and PPU software products, see the appropriate User's Guide located on the HP web site: http://docs.hp.com (under Network and Systems Management -> On Demand Solutions).
