Hello All,

As IBM has completely switched to capacity based licensing in order to use SS 
v5 I was wondering how others are dealing with this? We do not find the 
capacity based licensing sustainable. Our long term plan is to migrate away 
from SS v5 to Lustre, and based on the Lustre roadmap we have seen it should 
have the features we need within the next ~1 year (we are fortunate to have 
good contacts). We would really like to stay with SS/GPFS and have been big 
advocates of SS/GPFS over the years, but the capacity based licensing is 
pushing us into evaluating alternatives. I realize this may not be proper to 
discuss this directly in this email list, so feel free to email directly with 
your suggestions or your plans.

Thanks and kind regards,

Dean
