The next generation iSeries...simplicity in an on demand world

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.

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.
