Example activity: Checking a network range for active IP Addresseidentifying details for database connectivity strings.

InventoryDefinitive translation of Discovery data into definitive, unique, ident

hardware & software assets, specifically servers, installed softwareprocesses, services, hard disks, etc.Example activity: Logging into a Unix server, issuing and parsingcommands

Introduction: DIME

MeasurementGathering details beyond a simple count. Understanding configura

applications, clusters and relationships between applications to estfull data required for license metric identification.Example Activity: Querying Oracle database to identify options andpacks installed and in-use.

ExtensibilitySupporting the ability to extend the data queried to enable iQSonagather site specific details and to export iQSonar data to site specidown-stream repositories.Example Activity: Adding a new query for MS SQL to identify use ointernally written application.

Oracle Licensing: Complexity

To license Oracle you need to understand theplatform underpinning the technology

2 primary license options:

Processor

Named User Plus

Servers: Moores Law and the Data explosion

CPU history


10/36

The effect of Moores law on licensing

As servers became multi-processor in the late 1990IBM, Oracle and others introduces Processor

licensing

As processors became hyper-threaded and multi-cIBM introduced PVU licenses and Oracle introduceCore Factors

Oracle in a Virtual world

Virtualization & Partitioning

Hard v Soft partitioning

Hard partitioning isolates a Server to specific hardwar

VMware is always considered Soft partitioning

When running on a server which is soft partitione

Oracle generally requires that ALL underlying

processors which the server mayrun on be license

VMwares growth is very fast $3.77 billion revenue in 2011, up 32%

$1.06 billion revenue in Q4 2011, up 27%

VMware customers are moving toward cloud models

Better workload consolidation ratios

More dynamic workload placement

Highly accurate cost accounting and compliance manag

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

compromising based on unquantified risks

Customers that optimize licensing in their virtualization plan

ROI and fewer surprises

Licensing based on physical hardware is an inventory pr

Customers with the tools to manage their plans focus on ach

operational benefits, instead of avoiding licensing liabilities

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 infrastr

that will evolve to hybrid cloud architectures
