IBM’s introduction and active promotion of the Software Consumption (SC) solution within Tailored Fit Pricing (TFP) brings with it a fundamental change in how sites will approach managing and reducing software expense. Instead of being driven only by CPU usage during the monthly peak four-hour interval, under the SC model, software is charged based on the total CPU consumption for the entire month (at a much lower unit price).
