A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) can be requested at Value Unit-based pricing Value Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA) programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise aggregation. Each System z IPLA product with Value Unit pricing has a single price per Value Unit and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit, for IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

4 converting from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly, Millions of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted to Value Units. Some other measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs are the most common measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder of this description. Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Each of the various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value Unit Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three-digit code and referred to using the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three-digit code. Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have acquired is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you wish to grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation to determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of Value Units already acquired. For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, you should: Determine the required license capacity, in MSUs Aggregate the MSUs across the enterprise Convert the total MSUs to Value Units, using the applicable Value Unit Exhibit Multiply the price per Value Unit by the total number of Value Units to determine the total cost To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value Units or viceversa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional information or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool, visit the Value Unit Converter Tool Web site Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Units of another product. To determine the required license capacity for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer to the Terms and conditions section.

The Enhanced Value-Based Pricing system is based upon the IBM Tivoli IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 7

8 Environment-Managed Licensing Model, which uses a managed-environment approach -- whereby price is determined by what is managed rather than the number and 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 Tivoli products may manage clients, client devices, agents, network nodes, users, or other items, and are licensed and 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 and 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 and pricing of server-oriented applications are determined based upon the server's use in the customer's environment. Typically, such applications are licensed and priced in a manner that corresponds to each installed and 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, and HP Superdome servers), an entitlement is required for each processor in the physical partition being managed by the 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, and 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 and activated processors on the server. For each IBM Tivoli application managing a clustered environment, licensing is based on the cumulative number of installed and activated processors on each server in 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 and UNIX, and Microsoft Windows and Intel technologies, in order to simplify your licensing requirements, and to provide a smoother, more scalable model. Pricing and licensing does not differentiate between non-system z server platforms or operating systems. For some products, this platform neutrality extends to System z and other host servers as well. IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing terminology definitions Authorized user An authorized user is one and only one individual (named or unnamed) within or outside your enterprise. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for each individual user accessing the program in any manner. A program licensed under an authorized user PoE may be installed on a single computer or server, and accessed by multiple users, provided that a PoE has been obtained for each individual user accessing the program either directly or indirectly (via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means on behalf of the user. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 8

9 Note that authorized users have unique specific identity and IDs cannot be shared. An ID can establish one or more connections and count as a single authorized user. Specific information to security products: An authorized user of IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is any ID that accesses an application or service managed or protected by IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager. An authorized user of IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator is one whose identity can be synchronized by IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator or that can access a connected system that can be synchronized by IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator. An authorized user of IBM Tivoli Identity Manager is any ID whose identity is recorded in the Tivoli Identity Manager identity store. An authorized user of IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business is any ID that accesses an application or service managed or protected by IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business. Client device or client A client device is a computing device that requests the execution of a set of commands, procedures, or applications from another computer system that is typically referred to as a server. Multiple client devices may share access to a common server. A client device generally has some processing capability or is programmable to allow a user to do work. Examples include, but are not limited to, notebook computers, desktop computers, deskside computers, technical workstations, appliances, automated teller machines, point-of-sale terminals, tills and cash registers, and kiosks. Engine An engine is also referred to as a central processor (CP) or processor. Engines for traditional workloads are called General Purpose CPs. Engines for Linux workloads are called Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) engines or Linux-only engines. Engines for Coupling Facility workloads are called ICF engines. Enterprise An enterprise is a person or single entity and those subsidiaries with more than 50% ownership. External user An external user is an authorized user who is not part of the enterprise. Internal user An authorized user who is part of the enterprise. IBM 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 IFL will not, in most cases, result in any increased IBM software charges for z/os, OS/390, VM, VSE, or TPF operating systems and applications. There is, as indicated, a charge associated with the IFL, and there may also be a charge for applications which 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 traditional S/390 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 and provides the capability to create multiple Linux images, are supported by IBM S/390 IFL.

10 IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator connected system A connected system is any directory, database, application, or file integrated or merged by IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows terabyte (TB) capacity IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows TB capacity includes primary HSM disk storage pool size combined with the amount of utilized HSM removable media storage pool. Storage pools are configured on the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server. IBM System Storage tm Archive Manager TB capacity IBM System Storage Archive Manager TB capacity includes primary disk storage pool size combined with the amount of utilized primary removable media storage used by the IBM System Storage Archive Manager server. Capacity does not include: Copy storage pools for the space-managed data that reside on disk. Copy storage pools for the space-managed data that reside on removable media. Space used on the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server for any purpose other than the primary storage of space-managed data. Disk on the host being space managed. A virtual tape library (VTL) is considered a removable media device, so capacity is based on utilization. The minimum amount of capacity that can be purchased is 1 TB. Partial capacity will be rounded up to the next whole number of TB. Additional capacity must be added in increments of 1 TB. IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center TB capacity A TB capacity is each individual terabyte of storage capacity managed by the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center products. Managed capacity for the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication and IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication Two Site BC is defined as the source device capacity. Only the source device capacity is included in this pricing definition (not the target device). Managed processor (charging under full capacity in the managed environment) Managed processor 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 License Information's program-unique terms. Notes: IBM defines a physical processor in a computer as a functional unit that interprets and executes instructions. A physical processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic and logic units. 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. The program may not run on some or all of the processors for which PoEs are required by the program's valuation method.

11 In the System z IFL environment, each IFL engine is considered a single physical processor. Threading, a technique which makes a single processor seem to perform as two or more, does not affect the count of physical processors. Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server and charging is based upon the total number of processors on the blades with which the program is affiliated. 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: Millions of Service Units (MSUs) MSU is defined as millions of CPU service units per hour, which is the measure of capacity used to describe the computing power of the hardware processors on which S/390 or System z software runs. Processor MSU values are determined by the hardware vendor, IBM, or Software Compatible Vendors (SCVs). For more detailed information about System z software pricing, visit pricing.html Network node or node Network nodes include routers, switches, hubs, and bridges that contain a network management agent. A single network node may contain any number of interfaces or ports. Partitions A server's resources (CPU, memory, I/O, interconnects, and 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 and 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 and processors, and the I/O boards, memory, and interconnects are not shared. Logical partitions are defined by software rather than hardware and allocate a pool of processing resources to a collection of workloads. These partitions, while separated by software boundaries, share hardware components and run in one or more physical partitions. Port A port is the physical connection between a device and the network. Processor (per processor charging under full capacity) In full capacity charging, 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: IBM defines a physical processor in a computer as a functional unit that interprets and executes instructions. A physical processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic and logic units. 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 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 11

12 to be a physical processor. For example, in a dual-core chip, there are two physical processors residing on the single silicon chip. In the System z IFL environment, each IFL engine is considered a single physical processor. Threading, a technique which makes a single processor seem to perform as two or more, does not affect the count of physical processors. Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server and charging is based upon the total number of processors on the blade on which the program is run. When a server is shipped with six processors, but two of them are inactive, four processors are active for the customer. 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, commands, or applications to one or more user 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. Standby or backup systems For programs running or resident on backup machines, IBM defines three types of situations: cold, warm, and hot. In cold and warm situations, a separate entitlement for the copy on the backup machine is normally not required and typically no additional charge applies. In a hot backup situation, the customer needs to acquire other license or entitlements sufficient for that server. All programs running in backup mode must be solely under the customer's control, even if running at another enterprise's location. As a practice, the following are definitions and 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 and is started, but is idling, and 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, and is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlements for this copy and there will generally be an additional charge. Doing work includes, for example, production, development, program maintenance, and 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, and 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), the program is considered to be doing work in the hot situation and a license or entitlement must be purchased.

13 1 TB of managed storage = 2 to the power of 40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, trillion bytes. Tivoli Management Points A Tivoli Management Point is a metric used to compute license quantities and is program specific. Value Units A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements, which 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 and MSUs. However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as servers, users, client devices, and 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 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 User Value Units A User 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. Refer to the Value Units definition. Users is a descriptive of one of the Value Unit charge metrics. Product and licensing Web Sites A complete list of IBM Tivoli products is available at IBM Tivoli product licensing documents are available at Pricing examples The following examples are provided to illustrate your licensing requirements. Pricing example for IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Identity Edition for z/ OS - Per Authorized User Value Unit The examples provided for IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Identity Edition for z/ OS, V7.0 show how authorized users are counted in calculating Value Units. An external user is one that is not part of the enterprise. Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/os uses a ratio of 15 external authorized users equal one chargeable user for the purpose of calculating Value Units. Each internal user equals one chargeable user for the purpose of calculating User Value Units. Internal and external authorized users are combined to calculate total chargeable users required. Infrequent internal users who utilize their IDs less than five times a year, and are grouped so as to be trackable and auditable, will be granted a ratio of 15 infrequent internal users equal to one chargeable user for the purpose of calculating User Value Units. Chargeable users are summed up and the volume tiering table is then utilized to calculate the total User Value Units required to cover entitlements. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 13

14 User Value Units are set per 250 authorized users and are rounded up to the next 250. Therefore, all use authorizations will be in increments of 250 up to 1,000; then, increments are to the next 1,000. For example, a customer requiring 153 authorized users will purchase the same User Value Units as a customer with 250 authorized users. Scalable usage levels are determined by the number of authorized users required. The User Value Unit requirement covers all chargeable users within a scalable usage level. For IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Identity Edition for z/os, after the first 1,000 chargeable users, the following scalable usage table will be used to determine the required User Value Units (refer to Note 1). Note 1: Up to the first 1,000 chargeable users, User Value Units are required per increments of 250 chargeable users. Thereafter, User Value Units are required per increments of 1,000 chargeable users. Value Unit Exhibit 30 (VUE030) Scalable usage level Chargeable >1K-5K >5K-15K >15K-50K >50K - 150K users (Refer to Note 1 above) Value Units 1, per 1,000 authorized users Scalable usage level Chargeable >150K-500K >500K-1M 1M-3M >3M users (Refer to Note 1 above) Value Units per 1,000 authorized users Scenario 1 Transaction 1: The customer is using Tivoli Directory Integrator Identity Edition for z/os for an environment comprised of three connected systems with a total of 2,500 unique users. Each of these 2,500 internal users equals one chargeable user (or 2,500 total chargeable users). As previously stated, the incremental amount is 1,000 after the first 1,000 chargeable users. Therefore, the 2,500 chargeable users are rounded up to 3,000 for the purpose of calculating User Value Units to order. In this scenario, since all of the users that require a charge fall into the first tier and are a straight one-to-one (chargeable users to User Value Units), the 3,000 chargeable users equates to 3,000 User Value Units to order. Scenario 2 Transaction 1: A customer is using IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Identity Edition for z/os for an environment comprised of three connected systems with 30,000 unique internal corporate users and 15,000 infrequent factory employees (usage less than five times per year). The chargeable authorized users are counted as follows: IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 14

15 The 30,000 internal users equate to 30,000 chargeable users (at one internal user equals one chargeable user). The 15,000 infrequent factory workers (infrequent internal users) equate to 1,000 chargeable users (at 15 infrequent internal users equals one chargeable user, whose usage must be trackable and auditable at less than five times per year). This equates to 31,000 chargeable users for the purpose of calculating User Value Units. All users are counted one time regardless of the number of connections. Based on 31,000 chargeable users, the total number of User Value Units required is as follows: Pricing Quantity in User Value Units User Value metric customer per 1,000 Units required environment chargeable users (A*B)/1,000 (A) (B) Tier 1 5,000 1,000 5,000 Tier 2 10, ,000 Tier 3 16, ,800 Total User 14,800 Value Units Transaction 2: The customer, six months after Transaction 1, now requires IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Identity Edition for z/os for its environment which has grown to four connections and now includes 375,000 external users in addition to the existing 31,000 internal chargeable users. Applying the 15 to 1 ratio of external users to chargeable users, the 375,000 external users equates to 25,000 chargeable users, and a new total of 56,000 chargeable users. Authorized users are counted as follows: The 420,000 authorized users (30,000 internal users plus 15,000 infrequent internal users plus 375,000 external users equals 420,000 authorized users) equates to 56,000 chargeable users for the purpose of calculating User Value Units to order. Based on 56,000 chargeable users, the total number of User Value Units required is as follows: Pricing metric Quantity in User Value Units User Value customer per 1,000 Units required environment chargeable users (A*B)/1,000 (A) (B) Tier 1 5,000 1,000 5,000 Tier 2 10, ,000 Tier 3 35, ,500 Tier 4 6, ,200 Total User 21,700 Value Units Less currently (14,800) licensed from Transaction 2 Additional 6,900 User Value Units required As your environment grows, additional users can be added by purchasing Value Units per increment of 1,000 authorized users based on the applicable scalable usage level.

Scenario 3 Transaction 1: Company A wants to entitle usage of Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os with Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB) and use Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os to pull systems information from their custom applications into CCMDB. In addition, they want to use Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/ OS to directly integrate other custom data with MRO Maximo on two other servers, which is outside the scope of the CCMDB license. (Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/ OS is only bundled for CCMDB integration.) The desired data spans three geographic locations, driving the requirements for three separate installations. In location A1, Company A plans to install Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/ OS on a z9 tm EC server with 600 MSUs, while in locations A2 and A3, z9 BC servers, each with 15 MSUs, are utilized. z9-bc z9-ec MSU: Base: 3 3 Tier A: Tier B: 130 Tier C: 140 Tier D: 285 VU: Round-up VU: 5 34 To support their configuration, the customer must purchase 34 MSU Value Units at site A1, five MSU Value Units at site A2, and five MSU Value Units at site A3, which equals 44 total MSU VUs on three servers. Scenario 4 Transaction 1: Company B wants to deploy Alphablox but needs to bring enterprise data from a number of Excel spreadsheets into the Alphablox environment. They want to use Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os for this purpose because they recognize that even though initial data is in Excel format, later expansion of the Alphablox usage may be able to leverage the wide range of data sources from which Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os can extract data. For this entitlement, Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os is installed on one dual-processor computer, requiring Company B to purchase PVUs required to entitle both processors on the server. Transaction 2: In addition, Company B has 15 trading partners that need to similarly extract data from their own systems and provide such data to Company B on a regular basis. As the initiator of this initiative, Company B has requested that its trading partners use Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os to move their data. Company B plans to install Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os on a z9 EC server, with 600 MSUs, and therefore must purchase 34 MSU VUs required to entitle the server. In addition, most of the trading partners have chosen to participate in setting up their environments in support of this initiative. Each of these trading partners has installed IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator General Purpose Edition for z/os on a z9 BC server. Each customer is required to purchase five MSU VUs for their server.
