IBM Capacity Upgrade On Demand (CUoD)

Capacity Upgrade on Demand From IBM is delivering a fast, non-disruptive method of activating "extra" processor capacity ...built directly into IBM’s server platforms. You can activate additional processors and pay only for the new processing power as your needs grow.

Capacity Upgrade On Demand (CoD)

Capacity Upgrade On Demand enables businesses to add processor capacity as needed, permanently activating capacity to respond to increased business demands. Ideal for non-disruptive, planned growth, where companies “pay as you grow”.

On/Off Capacity On Demand

Respond to temporary increases, adding computing capacity exactly when they need it, for business peaks or specific limited times of the year when the extra capacity is needed.

As business cycles and other events cause spikes in activity, IT departments can simply switch on additional processors or memory when needed, and switch them off as workloads return to normal.

Reserve Capacity On Demand

This features enables businesses to pre-pay for days of additional processing resources, which can be automatically activated as fluctuating workloads, reducing administration intervention.

Trial Capacity On Demand

Temporarily evaluate the effect that additional processing & memory capacity could have on performance and business operations. This Capacity On Demand feature is ideal for testing new applications and resources, allowing administrators to test for up to 30 contiguous days of usage.

Capacity BackUp

For emergency recovery operations, you can utilize the Capacity BackUp to divert your workloads to backup servers to ensure continued business operations. For off-site disaster recovery, you can run entire workloads for up to 90 days, to respond to unexpected losses of server capabilities that are beyond your control.
