Permanent Capacity Pricing

IBM eServer iSeries

Permanent capacity pricing

It's very simple ... whether you purchase a POD Activation Feature to permanently activate a processor when the server is initially purchased or sometime later ... you pay the then current list price for the POD Activation Feature.

There are no pricing penalties or benefits either way.

Model	Processor	Startup	Standby	POD Activation
	Feature	Processors	Processors	Feature
825	2473	3	3	1609
870	2489	5	3	1614
870	2486	8	8	1611
890	2497	16	8	1612

1.When a processor is permanently activated, additional operating system licensing is required if using an OS that is licensed by processor and/or additional software licensing is required if using SW that is licensed by processor

2.When an iSeries is purchased with an Enterprise Edition, a FC 9603 is included (activates a processor for LinuxJ at no additional charge)

Trial Capacity is not offered on new models

Pre-2003 hardware continues to offer trial capacity, a means of "trying" on demand capacity before permanently activating it. Trial capacity, allows you to temporarily activate 100% of your standby processors for a period of 14 elapsed days.

In 2003, the new models (i825, i870, and the new processors of the i890), will not have trial capacity. It has been replaced with Bonus Days (14 Processor Days of credit) that is available when/if a customer enables their machine for temporary capacity ... On/Off CoD.
