Government Security Ratings

OpenVMS is committed to consistently delivering a se- cure base operating system, and has been evaluated and certified to be compliant with the DoD 5200.28-STD Department of Defense Trusted Computer System Eval- uation Criteria. Each release of OpenVMS sucessfully completes the same test suite used to prove C2 compli- ance to the National Computer Security Center before it is released.

Note: Because no system can provide complete se- curity, HP cannot guarantee complete system security. However, HP continues to enhance the security capabil- ities of its products. Customers are strongly advised to follow all industry-recognized security practices. Open- VMS recommended procedures are included in the HP OpenVMS Guide to System Security.

HP UTILITY PRICING ON OpenVMS FOR INTEGRITY SERVERS

HP Utility Pricing on OpenVMS for Integrity servers en- ables customers to pay for CPU resources when they need them, thereby allowing them to respond to planned or unplanned permanent load increases and temporary spikes.

•Instant Capacity or iCAP is relevant for systems that are purchased through capital expenditure.

•Pay per use (PPU) is valid only for systems that are leased exclusively through HP Finance.

Instant Capacity

Instant Capacity (iCAP) provides reserve capacity that the customer can put into production quickly without dis- rupting operations.

Benefits:

•Provides a highly available preconfigured "ready-to- run" solution.

•Allows activation of reserve capacity when needed.

•Encompasses cell boards and individual cores.

•Allows you to defer or avoid purchase of capactiy until used.

•Full corporate implementation ensures OpenVMS can share iCAP cores across hard partitions with HP- UX on a common Integrity system.

•Integrated with Global Workload Manager (gWLM) which can automatically reallocate active cores across hard partitions in response to workload de- mands.

Operational features:

•iCAP cores are purchased at a fraction of the price of active cores and are denoted as Components With- out Usage Rights (CWUR).

•Systems are configured at the factory before delivery with a minimum of one active core and the required number of iCAP cores.

•Once iCAP cores are activated, the balance of the price is paid and an activation Rights To Use (RTU) codeword is obtained from the HP iCAP web portal. The iCAP core/memory is then made active by the system manager.

•When a core or cell board is permanently activated, support of the core/cell board is automatically added to the overall support costs of the system.

Note: Activation of iCAP permanently adds a new core, with all the attendant HP software and third-party soft- ware licensing and support that this requires.

TiCAP (Temporary iCAP)

•Enables the customer to temporarily activate proces- sors for a set period of time, with a minimum 30 minute granularity per core.

•Permanent activation fee is not required. You can utilize an existing core for as long as needed.

•Accommodates customers with unpredictable or planned temporary processor demands.

Operational features:

•Works with processors, does not include cell boards or memory.

•Customer orders standard iCAP processors and pays the same discounted price.

•Customer then purchases the right to temporarily ac- tivate one or more iCAP cores for one or more 30- CPU days.

•Does not require an email connection from customer site to HP.

•The iCAP software issues a warning before the TiCAP license is likely to expire, based on the rate of depletion that it tracks across all relevant cores.
