Utility Computing -
pay for it
when you use it

With Pay Per Use acquisition models, you can now adjust your IT expenditures according to your computing demands.
Why Pay Per Use.
With Pay Per Use, less usage means lower payments… and more savings. Furthermore, you minimize the risk of paying too much for a system that outpaces your actual need. Similarly, you avoid the risk of underestimating your business requirements and acquiring a system that cannot meet your users demands.

Pay Per Use enables you to pay for what you use, when you use it, helping you to align capacity and costs with your business needs and growth, maximizing availability and evolving automatically as your business needs change

How it works
Pay per use measures the actual CPU utilization level and bills you accordingly. All CPUs
are active and available for processing workloads all of the time. Special metering software gathers data daily and automatically exports it, encrypted, to HP. You may also access HP's web portal to view and monitor your utilization.

No Risk
Your total payments will not exceed the cost of a regular lease for the same equipment over the term of the Pay Per Use agreement.

Availability
Pay Per Use is available on select HP servers, storage and printers.
