Unisys MIPS. “Unisys MIPS” shall be a Resource Unit Category. One (1) Resource Unit for this Resource Unit Category will be measured as MIPS, which is the monthly metered usage of the Unisys Mainframes based on MIPS. Unisys MIPS includes backup services (e.g. equipment, software, labor, and media). The Unisys configuration as of the Effective Date is a Unisys ClearPath Plus Dorado 390 System. The monthly metered usage will consist of the average MIPS utilization during the month. This will be measured using a standard utility named Utilization Report Utility for OS2200, or another mutually agreeable substitute, which collects the usage data from each Unisys ClearPath Plus Dorado 390 System partition in use. The monthly metered usage will not include any resource usage attributable to Systems Overhead or system level work, including CPU outage or unavailability; CPU wait time; CPU un-captured time; Service Provider system operations support and administrative personnel usage (including usage for billing functions and capacity planning studies) and other Service Provider initiated activities; Service Provider caused lost batch time or other usage attributable to reruns which are due to the fault of Service Provider; and the following system services where controlled by Service Provider: basic operating system components, system performance monitoring, capacity management, billing data collection tools, system operation and support tools, network operations, support, access methods and standard system print drivers, system-managed storage tools, data replication tools or processes, and components, and Service Provider’s problem management and change management software.
