Reciently I heard from my VAR, that TSM NT/2K and Novell clients are all now priced on a per processor basis. Where previously on these the client was for up to 4 processors, and after that you went to a different teir of pricing.
Now a single processor client cost more than a non-processor specific client did 6 months ago.
Can anyone explain how having more than one processor in a server has anything to do with how much it costs to back it up?
<grumble> As much as I like TSM, IMHO, they need to figure out how they want to price it, and publish that mechagnism for everyone to understand. Also, the current pricing structure is pretty bad. Everytime I look at getting a few more clients, it makes me want to re-evaluate using TSM at all from a financial perspective. </grumble>
