Think that's true Wanda. We are getting ready to stand up two more TSM servers and the cost of getting those two servers up and running went way down. Looks like two of them will be cheaper than one using the previous prices. We will "re-using" some of the client licenses that we already own as we are moving some workload from existing TSM servers. The catch will be converting all of current licenses. Haven't done all of that math yet to compare to what we have paid to get where we are.

So that if you are just buying client licenses you get hurt. But if you are setting up a new TSM server you don't have that big up front charge for the server end. So if you plan to back up a just a small number of clients, you may actually come out cheaper? Can anyone confirm this (possibly erroneous) opinion? Tivoli certainly doesn't make it easy to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Coats, Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 8:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: License Pricing Yes, I just purchased a single processor license, it was $528 or so USD. 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.
