24 Application Re-factoring Native Application Formats Not Easily Portable Each Application Requires SPECIAL Handling Application AND Platform Experience Required Can Lead to Vendor/Platform Lock-in Why Humans. Fear. The Cloud Possible Service Interruption Applications Are CRITICAL Prolonged Outage Not Acceptable Service Continuity is Non- Negotiable Cross-Platform Relocation is Complex High Failure Rates Cost and Duration of Move External SME Resources Required External SME Resources Expensive Complex Planning Iterative Testing and Validation Costly High Back-out/Rollback Plans Failure Rates 2018 VMware, Inc. 24

ly/2ltmr0s Licensing Microsoft SQL Server

ly/2krqd61 Microsoft SQL Server Licensing

27 Same Licensing Considerations APPLY Licensing Microsoft SQL Server in a VMware Cloud on AWS Environment Microsoft SQL Server Licensing Considerations and Configurations using VMware Cloud on AWS 2018 VMware, Inc. 27

28 VMC Sizer and TCO Tool for SQL Server Use the free VMC Sizer and TCO tool to quickly plan your VMC size and see how much you can save compared to on premise virtualized environment VMware, Inc. 28

29 Scenario 1: Licensing SQL Server on VMware Cloud on AWS Ace Healthcare is a VMC customer They have deployed a 4-Node SDDC They want to run 5 SQL Server VMs How many SQL Server licenses are required? VM1 VM2 VM3 VM4 VM5 Host1 Host2 Host3 Host4 VMware Cloud on AWS Each host has 2 CPUs, 36 cores, 72 hyper-threads Low density virtualized environment Better to license per VM CPU Cores Usage scenario requires 24 CPUs Software Assurance recommended - for license mobility* Virtual cores Core licenses VM1 VM2 VM3 VM4 VM Total core licenses: = VMware, Inc. 29

30 Scenario 2: Licensing SQL Server on VMware Cloud on AWS Ace Healthcare is a VMC customer They have deployed a 4-Node SDDC They want to run 50 SQL Server VMs Each VM requires four vcpus How many SQL Server licenses are required? High density virtualized environment Better to license per Host PHYSICAL CPU Cores Per VM Licensing Requires 200 Licenses Per Host Licensing Requires 144 Licenses Software Assurance recommended - for license mobility*, unlimited VMs, etc. VM1 VM2 VM3 VM4 VM5 VM6 VM7 VM8 Host1 Host2 Host3 Host4 VMware Cloud on AWS Each host has 2 CPUs, 36 cores, 72 hyper-threads VM5 0 Total core licenses: 4 Hosts * 36 CPU Cores = VMware, Inc. 30

31 More Scenarios: Licensing SQL Server on VMware Cloud on AWS vmotion licensed SQL Server VMs from on premise data center to VMC W/o SA, customers cannot vmotion SQL server VMs from on premise data centers to VMC. With SA, customers can do that once every 90 days, because on premise data center and VMC are not within one server farm. BYOL existing on premise SQL Server licenses to VMC W/o SA, customers cannot reassign existing on premise SQL Server licenses to VMC. With SA, customers can do that once every 90 days. Use Site Recovery to protect on premise SQL Server workloads and recover them in VMC Customers need to purchase the same number of SQL server cores licenses as on premise primary site for the secondary site on VMC. VM-host affinity In development. With vm-host affinity, customers don t have to license all the hosts in the cluster. Customers can restrict SQL Server VMs to a subset of the hosts to save cost. Small cluster In development. Now the minimum is the 4 host. Customers need 144 core licenses to license the entire cluster, which is not cost effective to some customers. With 2-host or 3-host cluster, customers can save 50% or 25% of their cost. Non-production SQL Server has developer edition which is free for development and testing VMware, Inc. 31
