7 IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing IBM Tivoli software products are priced using IBM Tivoli s Enhanced Value-Based Pricing. The Enhanced Value-Based Pricing system is based upon the IBM Tivoli Environment-Managed Licensing Model, which uses a managed-environment approach whereby price is determined by what is managed rather than the number type of product components installed. For example, all servers monitored with IBM Tivoli s monitoring product (IBM Tivoli Monitoring) require entitlements sufficient for those servers. Other IBM Tivoli products may manage clients, client devices, agents, network nodes, users, or other items, are licensed priced accordingly. Unlike typical systems management licensing models that require entitlements of specific software components to specific systems, the IBM Tivoli Environment-Managed Licensing Model provides the customer flexibility to deploy its IBM Tivoli software products within its environment in a manner that can address respond to the customer s evolving architecture. That is, as the architecture of a customer s environment changes, the customer s implementation of IBM Tivoli software can be altered as needed without affecting the customer s license requirements (as long as the customer does not exceed its entitlements to the software). Under Enhanced Value-Based Pricing, licensing pricing of server-oriented applications are determined based upon the server s use in the customer s environment. Typically, such applications are licensed priced in a manner that corresponds to each installed activated processor of the server managed by the IBM Tivoli application to help correlate price to value while offering a simple solution. Where a server is physically partitioned, this approach is modified. This partitioning technique is the approach used with systems that have either multiple cards or multiple frames, each of which can be configured independently. For servers capable of physical partitioning (for example, IBM System p Scalable POWERparallel Systems servers, Sun Ultra servers, HP Superdome servers), an entitlement is required for each processor in the physical partition being managed by the IBM Tivoli application. For example, assume that a server has 24 processors installed in aggregate. If this server is not partitioned, entitlements are required for all 24 processors. If, however, it is physically partitioned into three partitions each containing eight processors, Tivoli products were managing only one of the three partitions, then entitlements would be required for the eight processors on the physical partition managed by the IBM Tivoli application. For servers with virtual or logical partitions, entitlements are required for all installed activated processors on the server. For each IBM Tivoli application managing a clustered environment, licensing is based on the cumulative number of installed activated processors on each server in the cluster for each IBM Tivoli application managing the cluster. Where the cluster includes physically partitioned servers, the considerations described above concerning physically partitioned servers apply as well. Enhanced Value-Based Pricing recognizes the convergence of RISC/UNIX Microsoft Windows/Intel technologies, in order to simplify the customer s licensing requirements, to provide a smoother, more scalable model. Pricing licensing does not differentiate between non-system z server platforms or operating systems. For some products, this platform neutrality extends to System z other host servers as well. IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing terminology definitions IBM Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) This optional facility enables additional processing capacity exclusively for Linux workload, with no effect on the model designation of a System z or OS/390 server. Consequently, executing Linux workload on the IBM Integrated Facility for Linux will not, in most cases, result in any increased IBM software charges for z/os, OS/390, VM, VSE, or TPF operating systems/applications. There is, as indicated, a charge associated with the IFL, there may also be a charge for applications that run on the IFL. The IFL may be dedicated to a single Linux-mode logical partition or it may be shared by multiple Linux-mode logical partitions. Installations should note that the Linux workspace enabled by this facility will not support any of the S/390 traditional operating systems (OS/390, TPF, VSE, or VM). Only Linux applications or Linux operating in conjunction with the Virtual Image Facility, an environment that operates within a logical partition or in native S/390 mode provides the capability to create multiple Linux images, is supported by the IBM IFL. Partitions A server s resources (CPU, memory, I/O, interconnects buses) may be divided according to the needs of the applications running on the server. This partitioning can be implemented with physical boundaries (Physical Partitions) or logical boundaries (Logical Partitions). Physical Partitions are defined by a collection of processors dedicated to a workload can be used with systems that have either multiple cards or multiple frames, each of which can be configured independently. In this method, the partitions are divided along hardware boundaries processors, the I/O boards, memory, interconnects are not shared. Logical Partitions are defined by software rather than hardware allocate a pool of processing resources to a collection of workloads. These partitions, while separated by software boundaries, share hardware components run in one or more physical partitions. Processor ( per processor charging under full capacity) In full capacity charging, Proofs of Entitlement (PoEs) must be acquired for all activated processors (available for use) that are on the server where the program or a component of the program is run. Notes 1. IBM defines a physical processor in a computer as a functional unit that interprets executes instructions. A physical processor consists of at least an instruction control unit one or more arithmetic logic units. 2. Multicore technology allows two or more processors (commonly called cores ) to be active on a single silicon chip. With multicore technology, IBM considers each core to be a physical processor. For example, in a dual-core chip, there are two physical processors residing on the single silicon chip

8 3. In the IBM eserver System z IFL environment, each IFL engine is considered a single physical processor. 4. Threading, a technique that makes a single processor seem to perform as two or more, does not affect the count of physical processors. 5. Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server charging is based upon the total number of processors on the blade on which the program is run. 6. When a server is shipped with six processors, but two of them are inactive, four processors are active for the customer. 7. Not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on the Passport Advantage Web site Managed Processor (charging under full capacity in the managed environment ) Charges are based on the active processors on the machines in the computing environment affiliated with the program rather than on the server where the program is run. The managed processors which require PoEs are defined in the Prices section of the announcement or in the License Information s program unique terms. Notes 1.

Not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on the Passport Advantage Web site Server A server is a computer system that executes requested procedures, comms, or applications to one or more users /or client devices over a network. A PoE must be obtained for each server on which the program, or a component of the program, is run or for each server managed by the program. Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server. Stby or backup systems For programs running or resident on backup machines, IBM defines three types of situations: cold, warm, hot. In the cold warm situations, a separate entitlement for the copy on the backup machine is normally not required typically no additional charge applies. In a hot backup situation, the customer needs to acquire another license or entitlement sufficient for that server. All programs running in backup mode must be solely under the customer s control, even if they are running at another enterprise s location. As a practice, the following are definitions allowable actions concerning the copy of the program used for backup purposes: Cold A copy of the program may reside, for backup purposes, on a machine as long as the program is not started. There is no additional charge for this copy. Warm A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine is started, but is idling, is not doing any work of any kind. There is no additional charge for this copy. Hot A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine, is started, is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlement for this copy there will generally be an additional charge. Doing work, includes, for example, production, development, program maintenance, testing. It also could include other activities such as mirroring of transactions, updating of files, synchronization of programs, data or other resources (for example, active linking with another machine, program, database, or other resource, so on), or any activity or configurations that would allow an active hot switch or other synchronized switch over between programs, databases, or other resources to occur. In the case of a program or system configuration that is designed to support a high availability environment by using various techniques (for example, duplexing, mirroring of files or transactions, maintaining a heartbeat, active linking with another machine, program, database, or other resource, so on), the program is considered to be doing work in the hot situation a license or entitlement must be purchased. Value Units A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements that is based upon the quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurements are processor cores MSUs. However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as servers, users, client devices, messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for your specific implementation of the given program must be obtained from a conversion table associated with the program. You must obtain a proof of entitlement (PoE) for the appropriate number of Value Unit entitlements for your implementation. The Value Unit entitlements of a

9 given program cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program. Whenever the designated measurement is a processor core, not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on the Passport Advantage Web site Product Web site A complete list of IBM Tivoli products is available at Web site Licensing Web site IBM Tivoli product licensing documents are available at Web site licensing.html Passport Advantage Through the Passport Advantage Agreement, customers may receive discounted pricing based on their total volume of eligible products, across all IBM brs, acquired worldwide. The volume is measured by determining the total Passport Advantage points value of the applicable acquisitions. Passport Advantage points are only used for calculating the entitled Passport Advantage discount. To determine the required Tivoli product configuration under Passport Advantage, the Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing Model applies. The customer s environment is evaluated on a per-product basis. Use the following two-step process to determine the total Passport Advantage points value: 1. Analyze the customer environment to determine the number of Tivoli Management Points or other charge unit for a product. The quantity of each product s part number to be ordered is determined by that analysis. 2. Order the Passport Advantage part number. A Passport Advantage point value, which is the same worldwide for a specific part number regardless of where the order is placed, is assigned to each Tivoli product part number. The Passport Advantage point value for the applicable part number multiplied by the quantity for that part number will determine the Passport Advantage points for that Tivoli product part number. The sum of these Passport Advantage points determines the Passport Advantage point value of the applicable Tivoli product authorizations which then may be aggregated with the point value of other applicable Passport Advantage product acquisitions to determine the total Passport Advantage points value. The discounted pricing available through Passport Advantage is expressed in the form of Suggested Volume Prices (SVPs), which vary depending on the SVP level. Each SVP level is assigned a minimum total Passport Advantage point value, which must be achieved, in order to qualify for that SVP level. Media packs documentation packs do not carry Passport Advantage points are not eligible for SVP discounting. For additional information on Passport Advantage, refer to the following Web site The following Passport Advantage part number categories may be orderable: License Software Maintenance 12 Months this is the product authorization with maintenance to the first anniversary date. Annual Software Maintenance Renewal this is the maintenance renewal for one anniversary that applies when a customer renews their existing coverage period prior to the anniversary date at which it expires. Software Maintenance Reinstatement 12 Months this is for customers who have allowed their Software Maintenance to expire, later wish to reinstate their Software Maintenance. Media packs these are the physical media, such as CD-ROMs, that deliver the product s code. Documentation packs these contain printed documentation such as the User s Guide Release Notes. Pricing example: The following example is provided to illustrate the customer s licensing requirements. References to processor-based licensing do not represent the actual number of entitlements required. Entitlement requirements are Value Unit-based, with the exception of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. Processors referenced in this example represent the designated measurement on which the required number of Value Units entitlements will be calculated. The number of Value Units required per processor will depend on the processor type. For more information, refer to the Value Unit definition in the Definitions section. To determine the number of Value Unit entitlements required per processor, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on the Passport Advantage Web site References to all other non-processor metrics do represent the actual number of entitlements required, unless other designated measurements are referenced or unless otherwise specified. is licensed by the managed processor.

The managed processors which require PoEs are defined in the Prices section of the announcement or in the License Information s program unique terms. Notes 1. IBM defines a physical processor in a computer as a functional unit that interprets executes instructions. A physical processor consists of at least an instruction control unit one or more arithmetic logic units. 2. Multicore technology allows two or more processors (commonly called cores ) to be active on a single silicon chip. With multicore technology, IBM considers each core to be a physical processor. For example, in a dual-core chip, there are two physical processors residing on the single silicon chip. 3. The program may not run on some or all of the processors for which PoEs are required for the program s valuation method. 4. In the IBM eserver System z IFL environment, each IFL engine is considered a single physical processor. 5. Threading, a technique that makes a single processor seem to perform as two or more, does not affect the count of physical processors. 6. Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server charging is based upon the total number of processors on the blades with which the program is affiliated. 7. Not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on the Passport Advantage Web site Value Units A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements that is based upon the quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurements are processor cores MSUs. However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as servers, users, client devices, messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for your specific implementation of the given program must be obtained from a conversion table associated with the program. You must obtain a proof of entitlement (PoE) for the appropriate number of Value Unit entitlements for your implementation. The Value Unit entitlements of a given program cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program. Whenever the designated measurement is a processor core, not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on the Passport Advantage Web site Passport Advantage customer: Media pack entitlement details Customers with active maintenance or subscription for the products listed below are entitled to receive the corresponding media pack.
