We recently converted to a special hybrid license that is a combination of PVU and STG based. We are ~600TB primary occupancy (constantly growing) but have a lot of high-powered multi-processor systems (in research computing) so it worked out cheaper (per my guy who does licensing) to go to the STG/SUR licensing for the smaller/non-research systems backups. The additional software packages bundled into SUR (no more separate licensing for TDP products) is an added bonus.
Our hybrid agreement required us to create a separate TSM server for the PVU licensed nodes, which is ~15% of total occupancy) On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 7:12 AM, Ian Smith <ian.sm...@oucs.ox.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi, > > We are in the midst of discussions on moving to capacity-based licensing > from the standard PVU-based method for our site.
