IBM continues to expand the availability of orderable features supporting the Managed Service Provider (MSP) offering called MSP Utility Pricing Offer. The program requires the MSPs sign an agreement requiring them to pay for use of their cloud infrastructure.

 

Today, in support of the MSP Utility Pricing Offer, IBM is announcing software billing features for IBM i 6 and AIX 6. MSPs would order a quantity of these features each quarter to make their use payment if the cloud infrastructure included IBM i 6 or AIX 6 together with IBM Power Systems or IBM BladeCenter servers. The quantity to be ordered is determined by the MSP's actual use of the cloud infrastructure (average cores used in active partitions).

 

The MSP utility pricing offer continues to be supported for the IBM i 7.1 and AIX 7.1 operating systems.

 

For hardware support, refer to Hardware Announcement 113-044, dated April 02, 2013.
