Instant Capacity |
 |
 |
| A two-step purchase model for HP Integrity and HP 9000 server hardware. Reserve processors, cell boards, and memory are purchased at a fraction of their regular price and installed in your server—inactive but ready. When the reserve capacity is needed, permanent activation on a per-core basis can be purchased at the regular purchase price and you get five processing days per core with every processor, which allows for instant activation and time for testing. The majority of the cost of the processors, HP-UX licensing, and support costs is deferred until activation. |

Temporary Instant Capacity |
 |
 |
| Prepares you for extra demands on your system when you order a 30 processing-day block of temporary capacity. With one TiCAP block, one processor can be activated for 30 days or two processors for 15 days. Processors may be activated and deactivated as often as needed, and usage is measured in 30-minute increments. The HP-UX operating environment temporary license and support fees are included. |

Global Instant Capacity |
 |
 |
| Permits hardware to be shared among servers—allowing resources to be deactivated in one system and activated in another to meet changing demands. Helps protect your mission-critical environment by making it more cost-effective to implement disaster recovery or high availability solutions. With GiCAP, usage rights for hardware resources in a system that becomes unavailable can be used to activate core resources in another Instant Capacity server. |
