HP Instant Capacity, or "iCAP," offers inactive processors and cell boards with memory at a fraction of the price of equivalent active
components. The remainder of the active component purchase price, along with costs for software licenses and hardware and
software support, are incurred only when the hardware is activated.
components. The remainder of the active component purchase price, along with costs for software licenses and hardware and
software support, are incurred only when the hardware is activated.
HP Instant Capacity consists of both a hardware and software component. Instant Capacity hardware is a small fixed percentage of
the active component price, installed in the server but not used by the operating system. When the resource is needed, the Customer
purchases the usage rights for the hardware. Once applied to the system, the Customer can then activate and use the component.

HP Instant Capacity Software, which is included with both HP-UX 11i and later and OpenVMS 8.3 and later, is responsible for
activating and deactivating hardware and maintaining the system inventory stored in complex firmware. The system inventory
maintains the number of usage rights owned by the system, which in turn is used to determine the maximum number of components
that can be active.

HP Instant Capacity allows Customers to pay for resources when they need them, and to move resources where they need them.
HP Instant Capacity allows Customers to pay for resources when they need them, and to move resources where they need them.
HP Instant Capacity hardware is a small portion of the active component price, and does not require software licenses or support
while inactive. Therefore, the majority of hardware costs (as well as 100% of the associated software and support costs) is deferred
until the resources are actually needed.
