I looked at our PO for SQL and 300 clients from last month. The DB charge was $816.00 per processor including 1 yr maintenance and our clients were $5.00 per month maintenance charge. Purchased direct from IBM.

Is it still per-processor this week or are we back to points, or some combination of points per-processor based on alleged purpose of the system in question? -----Original Message----- From: Kamp, Bruce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: License Pricing Has anybody heard how they are going to handle licensing on Intel Xeon processor servers with hyper-threading?

We'll end up running NT Backup to on-board CDR drives -- the drives are around $100 and you can get 100 disks from OfficeMax for the cost of sales tax and a stamp if you watch the sales flyers. I always thought the ADSM 2.x price of $100 per NT *box* was a good fit -- and I haven't seen ANYTHING in TSM 4.x or 5.x that would justify a 500% (or higher -- would a 4-way box go for $2,112?) price increase. Somehow I see a "come to glory" meeting with my CIO, my IBM Marketing rep, my Tivoli marketing rep, and our preferred VAR in my future. And I *still* want to see a comprehensive, easily understood price list, readily accessible, WITHOUT registration or a customer number. Discounting may be customer specific and proprietary, but in this day and age, price is not and trying to hide it just means you no longer want to sell to ME. I won't do an NDA on prices and I won't accept an NDA on prices.

The ones I purchased just before year end were about $218USD. Unless new customers are coming in with huge discounts, I think that TSM is now priced out of the market. As a consultant (in a former life) I would be seriously considering taking my customers to other products, if I could find one that fits. I love the TSM concept, but economics is what rules. And there is not enough difference in the technological differences to make up the economic ones at this point. > -----Original Message----- > From: Cahill, Ricky [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 3:46 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: License Pricing > > Just got a quote back for some Win2k licenses and was rather surprised > at the massive increase in price, ok I've not bought a license for a > couple of years but this is bonkers.. > > single processor server £391.98 + vat per server > dual processor server £783.96 + vat per server > quad processor server £1567.92 + vat per server > > Anyone know if a license bought prior to this stupid per cpu idea is > valid for one server or one cpu?? > > > ..........Rikk > > > ********************************************************************** > **** > ************************** > Equitas Limited, 33 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8LL, UK > NOTICE: This message is intended only for use by the named addressee > and may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
