HP offers a spectrum of offerings allowing customers to align their payments according to the usage of
storage capacity.
For customers requiring assistance in managing their storage infrastructure, Managed Storage
Solution (MSS) meets that need while providing the option to acquire storage on a utility model.
Customers have the ability to choose other options like Backup/Restore, Data Availability, Local
Copy and Remote Copy services. All these capabilities are offered at a $/GB/Month fee.
For customers that want to build and manage their own storage utility, Utility Ready Storage (URS)
provides customers with storage that never runs out; priced as the customer uses it; and is easy to
procure. URS pricing is based on $/GB/Month of average allocated capacity over the customer's
minimum commitment. URS provides a unique opportunity to allow customers access to storage
when they need it, permitting them to adapt to their changing business needs.
For customers whose need is best described by predictable growth, Pay per forecast (PPF), offered
from HP Financial Services, is an ideal fit. It is a step lease based solution where the payments are
structured upfront according to the customer's forecasted growth.
For even further demanding financial needs of customers, HP Financial Services are ready to craft
a customized solution for them.

NOTE: Support for Utility Ready Storage will be available after the introduction of the EVA6400 and
EVA8400. Please contact your local HP representative for further information

The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (solid state drives, high

disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the
group.
