Re: Zend Platform Pricing

Lukas didn't point me to any literature. Maybe he'll hop on the list and
provide supporting details.

The way he explained it is that IBM i is licensed by the processor core.
Hence if I pay for two cores then IBM doesn't care if I deploy that as 1
LPAR with 2 cores, two LPARS with 1 core each, three LPARS with 1 core to
one, .5 core to the other, and .5 core to the last. There's a lot of
combinations you could come up with because as far as I remember an LPAR can
be just .1 of a processor.

Evan,

Any chance you have some literature supporting that? A link perhaps. Is it
Power 6, or i 6.1 in this context?

Either way, it would be a killer if the benefits of partitioning are FAR
outweighed by the additional costs.

Thinking aobut it, I can't see how that would work. This surely can't be
true.

You've scared me... :)

Actually, now I think about it - this may no longer be true. The

licensing

on power 6 might be different.

You only need one OS license for the box - it covers all partitions.
