I need flexibility. My business is dynamic and I need to be able quickly respond to new demands. (And by the way, I only request funds from the board once a year.)
My budget is very tight. I don’t want to pay for something until I actually use it.
I am championing a new computer application that will hopefully save my company a huge amount of money over time. But I need help getting it off the ground. We’re out of computing resource, but I still need to find a way to run a test.
We need an offsite computer in case of disaster. It has to be able to support the key production workload at the home site, but we can’t afford to pay full price for a computer which will hopefully rarely be used.
• Peaks can often be difficult to predict, especially their magnitude.• General growth is more predictable and usually easier to plan.• There may also be step functions when new applications are
brought on line and the green line abruptly shifts upward.
CUoD Upgrade Process1. Place order for activation feature (quantity n)2. Unique activation code posted to web & mailed. Code will activate the quantity of resource on only that server serial number.
3. Retrieve codefrom the web & enter using the HMC menu or ASMI interface
� Client contracts required for On/Off CoD:– If the client has an IBM Customer Agreement (ICA) on file, they must sign:

– If there is no ICA on file, the customer must sign the following:– Agreement for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6815-03)– Supplement for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6814-01)– Amendment for On/Off Software On/Off Capacity on Demand(Z125-6907-01)
� Optionally, ff the client chooses to report usage data manually, they must also sign
– Addendum for Temporary Capacity Manual Report (Z125-6837)
� Business Partners are required to sign once (covering all On/Off CoD engagements) the appropriate partner contract

� Turn the processor/memory on …. Leave it on until finished unless you are sure you don’t need the resource again. There are no partial day credits. See the Capacity on Demand User's Guide.
� A processor day can be longer than 24-hours if the entire system is powered off.
� You must not only stop using the On/Off activated processor, youMUST return it to system else “the meter keeps running”.
� The actual system which calculates/measures the processor day does some rounding, ESPECIALLY when changing your request, and can be a little confusing. See the Capacity on Demand User's Guide for insights/examples. Use the report generated by the system.
Two ways of doing businessSystem i CoD billing structure
� 1 hardware feature for each GHz one processor day
� 1 hardware feature for each GHz 100 processor minutes
� Permission to use IBM i processor license entitlement during the usage (price included in hardware feature)
� Permission to use 5250 Enterprise Enablement if 5250 capability on the machine (price in hardware feature)
� Permission to use HASM and other IBM i LPPs software. (price in hardware feature)
� Does not cover non-IBM software
� Does not cover other IBM Software Group processor-based products
System p CoD billing structure
� 1 hardware feature for each GHz one processor day
� 1 hardware features for each GHz 100 processor minutes
� AIX licensing needed if spare processor entitlements not available for AIX partition. 1 software feature for one license day
� HACMP™, CMS, VIOS, etc (AIX LPPs) additional licensing needed if spare processor license entitlements not available. 1 software feature for one license day per software product.
� Does not cover non-IBM software
� Does not cover other IBM Software Group processor-based products
� As described previously; payment for AIX, i, PowerVM, HACPM, HASM, CSM daily usage entitlement for the temporary processors is now included in the billing features.
� Note: IBM i 5250 OLTP usage on the temporarily activated processor is also included for IBM i assuming there is at least one 5250 Enterprise Enablement feature already installed on the system.
� OTHER SOFTWARE IS NOT INCLUDED
– Other IBM software which uses processor based licensing, for example WebSphere
– Non-IBM software
– The user should consult the organizations who own/control the software licensing terms and conditions to determine if there isa requirement for additional licensing.
!! On/Off is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)
Rule of thumb: If activating 1 processor at a time … it can range from 40 to 150+ days for a break even point depending on your environment and cost elements included. 120 days often quoted as a ball-park estimate. Break even means it would have been better to purchase the processor versus use On/Off. NOTE this break even point does not apply if activating more than 1 processor at a time.
How to calculate this for your situation:– Price of processor day for your environment (with i /without i) : ddd
– Price of a permanent processor activation: ppp
– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: ser
– Price of operating system for an additional processor entitlement plus its SW Maintenance: osos
– If needed, the price of an IBM i 5250 Enterprise Enablement: tptp
– If needed, the price of PowerVM and other software: misc
ddd x (number days break even) = (ppp + ser + ?osos? + ?tptp? + ?misc?)
* Different operating system options, and the different software/operational requirements may change
this calculation for your company. Prices/numbers will vary by country and are subject to change
On/Off CoD Economics with multiple temporary activations
!! On/Off is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)
Scenario: your peak workload very high and requires several processor activations. Buying one permanent processor activation does notmeet the workload needs. You need to buy enough processor activations to meet the workload needs.
How to calculate this for your situation:– Price of processor day for your environment (with i /without i) : ddd
– Price of a permanent processor activation: ppp
– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: ser
– Price of operating system for an additional processor entitlement plus its SW Maintenance: osos
– If needed, the price of an IBM i 5250 Enterprise Enablement: tptp
– If needed, the price of PowerVM and other software: misc
– Max number of processors activated during your peaks: nnn
ddd x (number days break even) = (ppp + ser + ?osos? + ?tptp? + ?misc?) x nnn
* Different operating system options, and the different software/operational requirements may change
this calculation for your company. Prices/numbers will vary by country and are subject to change
Utility CoD automatically provides additional processor capacity on a temporary basis within the shared processor pool. Usage is measured in processor minute increments and is reported by the client via a web interface. Billing is based on the reported usage.
For clients with unpredictable, short workload spikes who need an automated and affordable way to help assure adequate server performance is available as needed. • If permanent activation of processors is not cost efficient • If manual administrator of resources (like On/Off CoD) is too slow or operator
resource is not available
Note that adequate memory resource should be made available to achieve best processor utilization. On/Off memory resource is not part of Utility CoD.

!! Utility CoD is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)
Rule of thumb: If activating 1 processor at a time, after about 2400* to 9200* processor minutes it might have been better to purchase the processor activations. NOTE this break even point does not apply if activating more than 1 processor at a time.
How to calculate this for your situation:
– Price of 100 processor minutes for your environment (with i /without i) : mmm
– Price of a permanent processor activation: ppp
– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: serv
– Price of operating system for an additional processor entitlement plus its SW Maintenance: osos
– If needed, the price of an IBM i 5250 Enterprise Enablement: tptp
– If needed, the price of PowerVM and other software: misc
mmm x (number 100 min break even) = (ppp + serv + osos + ?tptp? + ?misc?)
If more than one processor activated, multiple the break even number of minutes by the maximum number of processors activated.
* Different operating system options, and the different software/operational requirements may change
this calculation for your company. Prices/numbers will vary by country and are subject to change
– Both are an automatic way to activate temporary capacity. Inactive processors are placed into the shared processor pool. When theserver recognizes that the number of base (purchased/active) processors assigned across uncapped partitions has been 100% utilized, and at least 10% of an additional processor is needed, then
that standby capacity is used.
Reserver and Utility CoD differences:
– Reserve CoD: You buy processor days in advance. Usage not reported to IBM. No contracts required.
– Utility CoD: You buy processor minutes either after using or in advance. Usage reported to IBM when you decide it is needed via the Web. Contracts handled via the Web.

Notes: Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
