Be aware of using OOCoD that there is a difference in the billing records for Hardware and Software. We looked at this before I moved to IBM and had to rule it out as the Hardware side only bills you for the Capacity by the day activated (e.g. Use OOCoD for 7 days and get charged for the 7 days at higher capacity) BUT software is billed by the month so you get the full month at the higher capacity even if you only turned on OOCoD for an hour. CBU also provides test activations without financial impact where as OOCoD will not.
