Taking Advantage of Capacity on Demand

Why Capacity on Demand

I need flexibility. My business is dynamic and I need to be able quickly respond to new demands. (And by the way, I only request funds from the board once a year.)

My budget is very tight. I don’t want to pay for something until I actually use it.

Why Capacity on Demand

I am championing a new computer application that will hopefully save my company a huge amount of money over time. But I need help getting it off the ground. We’re out of computing resource, but I still need to find a way to run a test.

We need an offsite computer in case of disaster. It has to be able to support the key production workload at the home site, but we can’t afford to pay full price for a computer which will hopefully rarely be used.

on Peaks

General growth

• Peaks can often be difficult to predict, especially their magnitude.• General growth is more predictable and usually easier to plan.• There may also be step functions when new applications are

brought on line and the green line abruptly shifts upward.




Permanent & Temporary CoD

� Permanent Capacity on Demand– Planned Growth ... pay when purchased, no premium

– Usually takes a few days to order/ship/install

� Temporary Capacity on Demand– Pay by processor day or processor minute

– Users can avoid/delay cost of permanent activation

– Quick response to peak needs

– Can pay after use

Permanent activations in this context means

activations outside of IBM Manufacturing when

requested by the client.

Permanent Activations (CUoD) Mechanics

� Initial purchase

– IBM activates the quantity of processors and memory prior to customer shipment

� MES orders

– Activation codes specific to server

a) shipped to client and

b) posted on CoD Web page

– Customer or Service Representative enters code into server via HMC or ASMI interface

Underlying infrastructure– VPD anchor card in server maintains knowledge of activations

– Activation codes are specific to a server

– Movement of physical parts does not move CoD activations

– CoD MES orders are specific to a single server

“Processor Day” Definition

� If more than one processor is turned on, then more than one processor day is used per continuous 24-hour period

– Example: turn on 3 processors for 3 days = 9 processor days used

– Example: turn on 2 processor for 1 day = 2 processor days used

– Example: turn on 2 processors for ½ day = 2 processor days used

– (round up)

Same basic definition applies to Memory GB day

� Continuous 24-hour powered on period for one processor

� Usually correlates to 24-hour clock time period, but can be longer if the system is powered down




On/Off CoD Overview

1. Client registers and obtains no-charge activation code to ‘enable’ On/Off function *

2. Client uses HMC interface to activate desired resources

3. Client reports usage to IBM (Monthly)

4. IBM processes usage data and provides Sales Channel details to be used for billing (quarterly)

5. Sales Channel generates MES order to bill for usage using feature codes specific to server model and speed.

6. Client pays for usage billed via MES order

7. Participation in program continues until termination requested

* If not already in place and if a business partner, business partner must also register

3) Contract Requirements

� Contracts obtained from CSO/BPSO Support Teams

� Client contracts required for On/Off CoD:– If the client has an IBM Customer Agreement (ICA) on file, they must sign:

– Attachment for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6813-02)– Supplement for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6814-01)– Amendment for On/Off Software On/Off Capacity on Demand (Z125-6907-01)

– If there is no ICA on file, the customer must sign the following:– Agreement for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6815-03)– Supplement for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6814-01)– Amendment for On/Off Software On/Off Capacity on Demand(Z125-6907-01)

� Optionally, ff the client chooses to report usage data manually, they must also sign

– Addendum for Temporary Capacity Manual Report (Z125-6837)

� Business Partners are required to sign once (covering all On/Off CoD engagements) the appropriate partner contract

� Distributor: IBM Business Partner Agreement - Distributor Attachment for Temporary Capacity on Demand (BPTCOD-dist)

� Solution Provider or Systems Integrator: IBM Business Partner Agreement -Attachment for Temporary Capacity on Demand (Z125-6846)

4) System Enablement

Enablement codes activate the On/Off function – Must be ordered as an MES

– No charge for enablement

– Memory enablement must be separately ordered

– Will not ship until registration complete and contracts submitted to [email protected]

Processor enablement = 360 Processor days

Memory enablement = 999 GB days

360

999

12




5) Usage

Client uses GUI menus to activate temporary activation

Request the number of days and request the number of processors or GB memory

The system will remind you of your planned end date, but will not take back the resource

HMC V7 screen




Usage Comments

� Turn the processor/memory on …. Leave it on until finished unless you are sure you don’t need the resource again. There are no partial day credits. See the Capacity on Demand User's Guide.

� A processor day can be longer than 24-hours if the entire system is powered off.

� You must not only stop using the On/Off activated processor, youMUST return it to system else “the meter keeps running”.

� The actual system which calculates/measures the processor day does some rounding, ESPECIALLY when changing your request, and can be a little confusing. See the Capacity on Demand User's Guide for insights/examples. Use the report generated by the system.

13




6) Monthly Reporting: Electronic or Manual

By the client contract described back in step 3), you, the client must report billing data to IBM,

at least once per month, regardless of whether you have used temporary capacity during

the period. You can use several methods to report information about your requests for

temporary capacity provided, using IBM Electronic Service Agent™ (preferred), fax, or e-mail.

You can view CoD billing information and save it to a file on a remote system or to a file on

removable media. If you choose to manually report the billing information, use the CoD Billing

Information window on the HMC to save the billing information. Then you can either attach

the file to an e-mail or print it and fax it to your CoD administrator.

On/Off Use

(in days)

HMC V7

To view and save CoD code-generation information:

1. In the navigation area of the HMC window, expand Systems Management.

2. Select Servers.

3. In the contents area, select the server on which you want to view and save the CoD code information.

4. Select Tasks. Capacity on Demand 29

5 Select Capacity on Demand (CoD).

6. Select Processors (or Memory).

7. Select the CoD offering you want to view or save.

8. Select View Code Information.

9. In the CoD Code Information window, click Save to save the CoD code information to a file on a remote system or to a file on removable media.

10. In the Save CoD Code Information panel, select one of these options, and then perform the tasks associated with that option




Reporting Comments

� If you (client) fail to report, IBM can assume you used 90 processor days and/or 90 Memory Days that month.

14




7) Billing: Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct

Sales Channel:

If this report indicates there

is billable usage, you are obligated, per the attachment

you signed for Temporary Capacity on Demand, to

process an MES order within the next 30 days.

Reports sent quarterly to registered sales channel

sample




8) Terminating On/Off CoD

� If the machine is sold *

� If CoD is no longer desired

� To obtain the termination code, send a request for an On/Off CoD termination code to the CoD Administrator: [email protected]

� Confirmation of the entry of the termination code will end the contractual obligation of the On/Off CoD program.

* note, If you sell the machine to someone else and neglect to terminate CUoD

capabilities, you (the client who signed the contract) are liable in most countries

to pay for temporary hours if the new owner is not willing or able to pay.

Software Licensing for the Temporary Activation

� As described previously; payment for AIX, i, PowerVM, HACPM, HASM, CSM daily usage entitlement for the temporary processors is now included in the billing features.

� Note: IBM i 5250 OLTP usage on the temporarily activated processor is also included for IBM i assuming there is at least one 5250 Enterprise Enablement feature already installed on the system.

� OTHER SOFTWARE IS NOT INCLUDED

– Other IBM software which uses processor based licensing, for example WebSphere

– Non-IBM software

– The user should consult the organizations who own/control the software licensing terms and conditions to determine if there isa requirement for additional licensing.




On/Off CoD Economics

!! On/Off is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

Rule of thumb: If activating 1 processor at a time … it can range from 40 to 150+ days for a break even point depending on your environment and cost elements included. 120 days often quoted as a ball-park estimate. Break even means it would have been better to purchase the processor versus use On/Off. NOTE this break even point does not apply if activating more than 1 processor at a time.

How to calculate this for your situation:– Price of processor day for your environment (with i /without i) : ddd

– Price of a permanent processor activation: ppp

– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: ser

– Price of operating system for an additional processor entitlement plus its SW Maintenance: osos

– If needed, the price of an IBM i 5250 Enterprise Enablement: tptp

– If needed, the price of PowerVM and other software: misc

ddd x (number days break even) = (ppp + ser + ?osos? + ?tptp? + ?misc?)

* Different operating system options, and the different software/operational requirements may change

this calculation for your company. Prices/numbers will vary by country and are subject to change

18




On/Off CoD Economics with multiple temporary activations

!! On/Off is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

Scenario: your peak workload very high and requires several processor activations. Buying one permanent processor activation does notmeet the workload needs. You need to buy enough processor activations to meet the workload needs.

How to calculate this for your situation:– Price of processor day for your environment (with i /without i) : ddd


– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: ser




– Max number of processors activated during your peaks: nnn

ddd x (number days break even) = (ppp + ser + ?osos? + ?tptp? + ?misc?) x nnn

Utility CoD automatically provides additional processor capacity on a temporary basis within the shared processor pool. Usage is measured in processor minute increments and is reported by the client via a web interface. Billing is based on the reported usage.

For clients with unpredictable, short workload spikes who need an automated and affordable way to help assure adequate server performance is available as needed. • If permanent activation of processors is not cost efficient • If manual administrator of resources (like On/Off CoD) is too slow or operator

resource is not available

Note that adequate memory resource should be made available to achieve best processor utilization. On/Off memory resource is not part of Utility CoD.

Utility CoD Details - Set Up & Usage

Set up

1. Client “Click to Accept” T & C’s on CoD website www.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/cod

2. Utility CoD enablement code provided by website

3. Client enters code into the system

4. Assign quantity of inactive processors to shared processor pool using HMC

5. Set condition/state parameters for automated activation using HMC

Note – enablement code must be renewed every year on CoD website

Usage

1. When system recognizes that the base processors assigned across uncapped

partitions is 100% utilized AND at least 10% of one processor is needed, THEN

additional processor resource is automatically applied and chargeable processor

minutes start accruing.

2. Minutes stop accruing when the utilization level drops and the base processors

assigned can handle the workload.

3. As needed, report usage to CoD website, receive reporting authorization codes, enter

reporting codes into the system

Note – only processors, not memory, activations are automated




System i Utility CoD Details - Payment

IBM sends statement of reported usage to sales organization associated with client

Customer Steps

1. Client goes to CoD website

2. Report minutes usage on CoD website

– Report in blocks of 100 minutes

3. CoD websites provides reported usage code

4. Client enters usage code into system *

To prepay, report usage not yet incurred

Sales Steps

1. Receive information from IBM CoD organization on usage

2. Order one appropriate billing feature for each 100 processor minutes

* Reporting insight: There is a limited quantity of processor minutes enabled on the system. If the client forgets to enter

their usage code, the system will stop providing utility CoD function when the limit is reached. Once entered, the reported

usage code extends the number of processor minutes available.

Utility CoD Economics vs. Permanent Activation

!! Utility CoD is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

Rule of thumb: If activating 1 processor at a time, after about 2400* to 9200* processor minutes it might have been better to purchase the processor activations. NOTE this break even point does not apply if activating more than 1 processor at a time.

How to calculate this for your situation:

– Price of 100 processor minutes for your environment (with i /without i) : mmm


– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: serv




mmm x (number 100 min break even) = (ppp + serv + osos + ?tptp? + ?misc?)

If more than one processor activated, multiple the break even number of minutes by the maximum number of processors activated.






Utility CoD Economics vs. On/Off Processor Day

!! Utility CoD is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

If you are going to run Utility for 60* minutes in a day, it is about the same price as buying 1 On/Off processor day.

How to calculate this for your situation :

– Price of 100 processor minutes for your environment (with i /without i) : mmm

– Price of a processor day for your environment (with i/without i) : ddd

– ddd / mmm = decimal ratio (USA 9117 example: ratio = 0.60 indicating breakeven less than 100 minutes)

– Decimal ratio x 100 minutes = number minutes breakeven assuming max of 1 processor activated during Utility CoD

If a variable number of processors is activated using Utility CoD, then the breakeven point is calculated by

– Variable adjustment factor = vaf = (peak number of processors activated) minus (minimum number of processors activated)

– Break even = ( ddd / mmm ) x 100 x vaf

Trial CoD

One time option for life of server (MTM – machine type model)

– Activate all processors and all memory for 30 days. (user can

assign only a portion of these if so desired)

– Purchase of processor/memory activations does not “reset”

– Requires exception request.

See https://www-912.ibm.com/tcod_reg.nsf/TrialCod?OpenForm

30-day use of– Up to 2 processor activations and/or Up to 4GB memory activations

– Can be done once per purchase of processor/memory activation. – Example: new machine installed July. October try 2 processor activations.

December purchase a processor activation. With purchase, “reset” and can request another Trial CoD.

– No charge

Reserve & Utility CoD Compared

Reserve and Utility CoD similarities

– Both are an automatic way to activate temporary capacity. Inactive processors are placed into the shared processor pool. When theserver recognizes that the number of base (purchased/active) processors assigned across uncapped partitions has been 100% utilized, and at least 10% of an additional processor is needed, then

that standby capacity is used.

Reserver and Utility CoD differences:

– Reserve CoD: You buy processor days in advance. Usage not reported to IBM. No contracts required.

– Utility CoD: You buy processor minutes either after using or in advance. Usage reported to IBM when you decide it is needed via the Web. Contracts handled via the Web.
