Charge metrics definitions
Value Unit
A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements
which is based upon the quantity of a specific designated measurement used
for a given program. Each program has a designated measurement. The most commonly
used designated measurement is a processor core. However, for select programs,
there are other designated measurements such as users or resources which may
include servers, client devices, and messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements
required for a program depends on how the program is deployed in your environment
and must be obtained from a Value Unit table. You must obtain a PoE for the
calculated number of Value Unit entitlements for your implementation. The
Value Unit entitlements are specific to a program and may not be exchanged,
interchanged, or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
The subject programs have a new structure for licensing and pricing designed
for clarity, simplicity and unity with other products in the IBM Enterprise
Content Management portfolio. The former approach relied upon licensing servers
and users - with users licensed on a Named, Concurrent, eBusiness, Employee
and External basis. This has been replaced with a new approach based on Value
Units (VU's), with a primary focus on user access.
User Value Units (UVUs)
Three types of UVUs are available:
- Authorized (AUVU): For selective licensing of users who are internal to
the organization. It replaces named, concurrent and ebusiness user licensing.
- External (XUVU): For licensing of users who are external to the organization.
It replaces external user licensing and eBusiness User Licenses for certain
products.
- Employee (EUVU): For collectively licensing all users who are internal
to the organization. It replaces Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) employee
licensing.
Product pricing
Each product has a fixed price per UVU. Customers license the appropriate
number of UVUs to provide access to a corresponding user population.
Cumulative volume discounting
As the user quantity increases, the number of UVUs increase albeit at a
slower rate. Value Unit License Conversion Tables establish the required number
of UVUs for a specified number of users.
Volume discounting examples:
- 100 authorized users require 85 AUVUs
- 1,000 authorized users require 600 AUVUs
- 5,000 authorized users require 2,500 AUVUs
Content Manager configuration example:
- Content Manager AUVU price = $Y per AUVU
- 5,000 authorized users require 2,500 AUVUs
- Total price = $Y x 2,500
Although the subject programs are now offered under a new, streamlined
licensing and pricing model, the function of the products has not changed
from that of previously available offerings.
