Software Announcement 203-093 April 8, 2003 Value Unit Pricing on OS/390 and z/OS, and an Entry Option on z/OS Now Available for Select IBM WebSphere Platform Products
At a GlanceValue Unit pricing is replacing the existing pricing model based on per processor for select WebSphere platform products. A new Entry Option on z800 and z900 models is available for select WebSphere platform products. For complete lists of WebSphere products selected for Value Unit pricing as well as the Entry Option, refer to the Description section. OverviewValue Unit pricing is replacing the existing pricing model based on processors for select IBM WebSphere® platform products. Value Unit pricing is designed to provide a price curve consistent with IBM's Monthly License Charge price models, which will help provide improved price performance as hardware capacities and workload grow. Value Unit pricing helps you to:

Value Unit pricing helps improve the pricing granularity and makes it consistent with many other products running on this platform. Value Unit pricing will help align the prices of these products to the principle of a Monthly License Charge pricing curve which provides for a lower price per Million of Service Units (MSUs) for larger capacities. There can also be a price benefit when you grow your capacity. Additional capacity will not be priced starting at the base with a higher price per unit, but on the capacity that is already installed. Proofs of Entitlement (PoEs) will be based on new Value Units. PoEs for new licenses and additional capacity orders for existing licenses will be based on Value Units. PoEs are product specific. Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Units of another product. Pricing for G5 and G6 systems, as well as on zSeries machines, or equivalent, will be based on full MSU capacity of the machines on which the product is installed. Price Changes: The products in this announcement have one charge unit — Value Units. Value Units for a specified MSU of eligible zSeries hardware are determined by the following table. The price of a Value Unit varies depending on the product selected. Translation from MSUs to Value Units

Tier A 4-45 0.45
Tier B 46-175 0.36
Tier C 176-315 0.27
Tier D 316+ 0.20
The total number of Value Units is calculated according to the following example. If the customer has installed 1000 MSUs, the applicable Value Units would be:
When calculating the total number of Value Units, the sum is rounded up to the next integer. Value Units for IBM 9672 processors will be based upon the full capacity of these systems. This is applicable to all S/390®-based systems that are measured on MSU capacity. Information on MSU capacities can be found in the IBM System/370™, System/360™, and zSeries Machine Exhibit (Z125-3901). Value Units for zSeries models will be based upon the full MSU capacity as defined in the Machine Exhibits. Value Units for Non-MSU-Based S/390 Processors MP 3000 Models
A tool will be available that provides support for transforming the MSU-based capacities of S/390 systems to new Value Units by calculating the applicable number of Value Units for a given number of MSUs. The person preparing for an order is required to use this tool to calculate the number of Value Units, based upon the number of MSUs (processor capacity). CFSW expects Value Units as configuration input. Processor-Based License Options Withdrawn: Effective April 7, 2003, IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA) processor-based one-time charge (OTC) and S&S Annual License Charge (ALC) are being withdrawn from marketing for the affected WebSphere products listed below.

Upgrades
If you are upgrading from 3.x, contact your IBM representative for detailed information. The
upgrades are applicable only on 5655-F31 and not any other product listed in this announcement.
IPLA and S&S ConsiderationsIPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. You may aggregate the capacity for all the machines the product is operating in to achieve a better price. This aggregation will result in a single PoE. It is your responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the Entitlement of the Product License.
S&S must cover the same capacity as the Product License Entitlement. S&S will be available in the
country in which the agreement is made.
Entry OptionThe Entry Option allows you to acquire a minimum number of Value Units (10 for z800 models, 20 for z900 models) of eligible WebSphere platform products to be deployed in a manner consistent with IBM terms and conditions. You are required to install the products on eligible zSeries hardware such as zSeries 800, zSeries 900, zSeries 800 coupled mode with z/OS running in z/Architecture™ (64 bit) mode, zSeries 800 running z/OS.e, and with no other MVS-based operating system licensed to that server. To validate compliance with the terms and conditions IBM requires logically partitioned mode (LPAR) utilization data (via Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) Report — refer to below) to be provided by you on a monthly basis.
Selected, 20 Value Units Entry Option for z900 2064-112 rated at 372 MSUs running z/OS in 64-bit mode WebSphere Application Server is executing in an LPAR with a defined capacity of 40 MSUs. Utilization of the LPAR may exceed 40 MSUs temporarily, but z/OS Workload Manager will enforce the average utilization of the LPAR which must be equal to or less than 40 MSUs. Based on LPAR configuration, the customer will remain qualified for the Entry Option assuming that WebSphere Application Server is not started in another LPAR and assuming that all the WLC and SCRT, and other applicable terms and conditions are met. Selected, 20Value Units Entry Option for z900 2064-112 rated at 372 MSUs running z/OS in 64-bit mode WebSphere Application Server is executing in an LPAR with an enforced relative weight of 10. ( Note: In order to complete calculations, the weights of the remaining LPARs are required. Assume one other LPAR with a weight of 90). Based on the LPAR configuration, the WebSphere Application Server LPAR has 10 out of 10+90 units of capacity available, which is equivalent to 10% of the machine. Therefore, the LPAR will have 38 MSUs (37.2 rounded up to the nearest integer) available. Based on LPAR configuration, the customer is assured that they will remain qualified for the Entry Option assuming that WebSphere Application Server is not started in another LPAR and assuring that all the WLC and SCRT terms and conditions are met. Selected, 20 Value Units Entry Option for z900 WebSphere Application Server is executing in an LPAR with two general purpose logical processors assigned. Neither a defined capacity nor an enforced capacity of 17% of 372 MSUs (17% is the calculation of 2 engines out of the entire 12 engine machine). 17% of 372 MSUs results in a possible peak LPAR capacity of 64 MSUs. Though this configuration is completely acceptable for the 20 value Units z900 Entry Option selection, yet if the utilization of the LPAR exceeds 40 MSUs, the customer will no longer be entitled to the Entry Option and they will be automatically scaled up to full capacity. In this case, full capacity would mean an additional 98 Value Units to cover the entire 372 MSU machine (note EO license was for an initial 20 Value Units which is equivalent to 40 MSUs). Entry Option Eligible Products The following WebSphere family of products will be eligible for the Entry Option:

Product PositioningMainframe Qualities of Service are well known and respected. Customers who now wish to apply these Qualities of Service to modern Java™-based applications can do so through the introduction of WebSphere applications to zSeries mainframes. Furthermore with the Entry Option, customers can license WebSphere software for less than the whole machine. Statement of General DirectionValue Unit pricing and Workload License Charging are IBM's general direction for the pricing of mainframe software, in response to customer requirements. These complementary approaches license software based on the MSU capacity of an LPAR and provide an easy to understand discount scheme. The intention is to allow the introduction of new workloads that can grow in response to e-business demands without impacting mainframe server consolidation.
