PPU | In previous versions of PPU (versions B.04.x — HP product T1322AA) a |
| customer’s usage charges were calculated based on the number of active |
| processors in the system. |
| PPU versions B.06.x (HP product T2351AA) offers an alternative pricing |
| model in which you are charged for the percent utilization of the active |
| processors. |
| The billing amounts vary as your processor usage needs increase or |
| decrease. This is different than the traditional financing approaches that |
| are based on fixed payment amounts for a specified period. |
