Overview
In order to remain competitive, organizations need to be able to respond instantly to rapidly changing business requirements. The Model 870 meets the need for "pay-as-you-grow" and "pay-as-you-go" scalability with Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD). CUoD offers permanent and temporary capacity to help decrease up-front processor costs by deferring the need to buy extra processing capacity until you need it. Upgrades-traditionally made in mulit-processor increments-can be much more granular, enabling businesses to pay only for what they need, exactly when they need it--one processor at a time. Each of these iSeries models allow businesses to dynamically add capacity as needed without installing new hardware or causing service interruptions.

CUoD or On/Off CUoD enable you to activate (no IPL and/or database reconfiguration) one or more central processors of a Model 825, 870, and 890 up to the maximum number of available standby processors.

CUoD (permanent capacity on demand)
 Order an activation code to permanently turn on extra capacity

On/Off CUoD (temporary capacity on demand)
 Enable your server for the use of temporary capacity
 Turn on and off capacity as you need it ... it's immediate!
 Pay for the requested capacity at the end of each quarter
