All,
Does anyone have some good examples of software licensing cost
savings by moving from distributed servers to Linux on the mainframe?
I'm giving a presentation on the cost savings and I think this
is something I want to focus on.
I read about DGTIC saving money on Oracle licenses.
From what I've read it seems that some software vendors, like
IBM and possibly Oracle are charging the same amount per engine as they
are per distributed cpu.
Since we can run several Linux instances on one engine, there
are clearly cost savings there.
Basically do you guys know of any more examples ?
What vendors / software are people targeting to consolidate on
the mainframe do to the software licensing savings ?
Thanks,
Oscar
