HP Utility Ready Computing blades (URB) are pay-for-use infrastructure that resides at your site, billed
monthly by HP based on metered power-on time, and transfers cost of blade servers and associated
infrastructure from CapEx to OpEx in an alternative way from a traditional lease.
The URB Advantage:
Aligning costs with utilization
Reduce upfront expenses
React instantly to changing demands
Effective Chargeback mechanism
And it's at your site, you maintain control!
With CloudSystem Matrix, customers can add Utility Ready Computing blades to their Matrix enclosures
and leverage the benefits offered by utility ready computing.
NOTE: Customers cannot mix non-URC blades with URC blades same in same enclosure, they should be
housed in separate enclosures.
