IBM POWER systems offer three ways to reduce Oracle licensing costs compared to x86 systems:
1. Oracle licensing on Power is based on the number of cores assigned to the Oracle partition, not the total physical cores.
2. Power systems are twice as fast as x86 according to Oracle benchmarks, so fewer cores are needed to get the same performance.
3. IBM FlashSystems can reduce wait times for data, meaning fewer cores are needed to avoid CPUs sitting idle waiting for data.
An example showed potential savings of over £530,000 per year by moving from 32 physical cores on x86 to 10 cores on Power with FlashStorage.

AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial IntelligenceIndexBug
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
4. Introduction: DIME
• Discovery
Defining the scope of possible “universe” – what may be there.
Example activity: Checking a network range for active IP Addresses or
identifying details for database connectivity strings.
• Inventory
Definitive translation of Discovery data into definitive, unique, identifiable
hardware & software assets, specifically servers, installed software,
processes, services, hard disks, etc.
Example activity: Logging into a Unix server, issuing and parsing
commands
5. Introduction: DIME
• Measurement
Gathering details beyond a simple count. Understanding configuration of
applications, clusters and relationships between applications to establish
full data required for license metric identification.
Example Activity: Querying Oracle database to identify options and
packs installed and in-use.
• Extensibility
Supporting the ability to extend the data queried to enable iQSonar to
gather site specific details and to export iQSonar data to site specific
“down-stream” repositories.
Example Activity: Adding a new query for MS SQL to identify use of an
internally written application.
7. Oracle Licensing: Complexity
• To license Oracle you need to understand the
platform underpinning the technology
• 2 primary license options:
– “Processor”
– Named User Plus
9. Servers: Moore’s Law and the Data explosion

2007 - 2009: 4 Core (quad)
2009 - 2011: 6, 8, 10 Core
2012 - 2013: 12 Cores
2014 onwards: 24, 48, 64, 128 Cores ??
10. The effect of Moore’s law on licensing
• As servers became multi-processor in the late 1990’s,
IBM, Oracle and others introduces “Processor”
licensing
• As processors became hyper-threaded and multi-core,
IBM introduced PVU licenses and Oracle introduced

12. Oracle Licensing: Complexity
• Processor License
– Core factor
› CPU Type: x86/x64 (Intel and AMD), Power, RISC, Itanium, etc.
› Purchase date!
• NUP License
– Processor Minimums
13. Oracle in a Virtual world
• Virtualization & Partitioning
– Hard v Soft partitioning
– Hard partitioning isolates a “Server” to specific hardware
– VMware is always considered Soft partitioning
• When running on a server which is “soft partitioned”
Oracle generally requires that ALL underlying
processors which the server may run on be licensed
14. Virtualization

18. Why is Oracle growth slower?
• Fear of unexpected licensing liabilities on high-cost products
• Highly mobile virtual workloads don’t fit “old school” EULAs
• IT infrastructure teams haven’t focused on licensing before
19. Why is VMware here today?
• Customers that have the facts make smart decisions
• Virtualizing (or not) based on real costs and benefits
• Choosing VMware (or not) based on real value
• Evolving their infrastructure toward their strategic needs, not
compromising based on unquantified risks
• Customers that optimize licensing in their virtualization plan get better
ROI and fewer surprises
• Licensing based on physical hardware is an inventory problem
• Customers with the tools to manage their plans focus on achieving
operational benefits, instead of avoiding licensing liabilities
20. Why is VMware here today?
• VMware customers are virtualizing Oracle:
• Optimizing licensing costs
• Significantly improving their operational capabilities
• Re-deploying licenses to automated DR functions
• Increasing uptime
• Increasing IT manpower efficiency
• Developing the skills to manage highly dynamic infrastructures
that will evolve to hybrid cloud architectures

• Newer cores out perform older CPU’s
VM VM VM VM
• Environment now has failover
VM VM VM VM • Cost to license Oracle is halved
35. Where VMware customers are going:
• Any software license terms agreed to must be honored
•Some customers negotiate better terms for themselves to
make deployment with virtualization easier
• Awareness that deploying Oracle workloads carelessly can
create an expensive license liability
• Motivated to optimize Oracle workload deployment
• Achieving the benefits of virtualization on key workloads
• Using tools to enforce policies and control the environment
• Increasing ROI by active management of licensing costs
Efficiency through ConsolidationThe initial desire to run business critical apps on VI is typically driven by consolidation. ERP systems, Exchange, databases, etc, frequently consume large pools of servers which are overprovisioned like your typical x86 systems, and usually span not just production but test, dev and training. These applications are ideal candidates for consolidation, typically enabling consolidation ratios of 5XX or more.Guarantee App Quality of Service.With VMware, applications can scale dynamically to ensure service levels under variable load.In addition, VMware provides built-in HA and DR to ensure availability without complexity of app-specific clustering.Accelerate App LifecycleApplications can de developed, tested, and deployed faster with VMware. Vmware enables apps to be provisioned on-demand, in a matter of minutes, whether in the labs or in production.
