"Increasing agility and return on IT investment will continue to be critical business imperatives moving forward, and HP, with its Adaptive Enterprise strategy, is strongly positioned to help companies create more business value with services such as these." Pay-per-use Solution for HP StorageWorks XP Disk Arrays Pay-per-use on HP StorageWorks XP 128 and 1024 disk arrays lets customers pay a fixed monthly fee plus a variable fee that is based on metering the actual usage of their disk storage systems.
