It seems that one of the major differentiations is whether the person is
an employee of your company or not. Which might tend to be on your
honor. It may also deal with authentication which brings up some
interesting questions - LDAP, etc.
We are looking to rightsource our Internet and Extranet servers and
bring them in internally. Current pricing changes make this a much more
affordable. I should have a reconfigured system some time next week to
confirm. While the deal is more targeted to SMB's I think it will have
some impact on those people who are looking at the Internet or a service
provider model.
While not necessarily perfect for everybody the two licensing changes
(i5/OS Licensing Per User, i5/OS Application Server) are huge changes
and go a long way to solving certain licensing problems. These options
provide opportunities for us to save tens of thousands in of dollars in
one scenario to hundreds of thousands of dollars in another. While I'm
sure someone has some sort of issue with these and the definition may
take some getting used to I think it's a very large change.
