Partition pricing for HP SuperdomePlao Alto 06 December 2000 Hewlett-Packard Company introduced a new pricing program, available initially for HP 9000 Superdome high-end UNIX servers. Referred to as partition pricing, this option allows service providers, enterprises and other Internet powerhouses to pay for incremental computing resources in alignment with forecasted growth. The program also offers an attractive entry price for the high-end HP Superdome solution and meets Internet data center needs for flexibility as well as for fast planning and implementation.
Partition pricing provides a new way for customers to acquire an HP Superdome system. Payments are structured based on the customer's forecasted need for additional HP Superdome partitions. In addition, should business conditions change, the customer can reschedule the activation of the additional pre-installed partitions and adjust the timing of associated payments.
HP is setting the pace in the move to utility pricing. With its instant-capacity-on-demand (iCOD) offering, on-tap pricing models, pay-per-use financing program, and Superdome's groundbreaking utility pricing, HP leads the market in allowing customers to harness the power of an always-on Internet infrastructure while paying only for the computer resources they use. With the introduction of partition pricing, HP further extends its offering of the most comprehensive set of flexible pricing models in the industry today.
