Understanding and being able to calculate the most important metrics is essential for licence managers to always be able to tell to what extent the use of existing licences is permitted.

Using practical examples, you will learn how to determine the actual licence requirements based on IT specifications.

This course will help you to better validate licence offers and avoid compliance problems.

How do I calculate PVU requirements for Full- and SubCapacity?
How do I calculate Virtual Processor Cores?
What is behind a Resource Value Unit?

In our 1-day training, these questions (and more) are discussed using practical examples (Spectrum Protect, Db2 and Filenet).

General

Explanation of the most important sources of information
Brief overview of Full- and SubCapacity & ILMT

The metric "PVU" (Processor Value Unit):

How exactly are PVUs calculated? (Explanation, examples and exercise)
Brief explanation: Spectrum Protect (formerly TSM)
How do I collect data on actual usage? (Example: Spectrum Protect)
What do I have to consider with the metric PVU in relation to SubCapacity? (Example: Spectrum Protect)

The metric "VPC" (Virtual Processor Core)

Short explanation: Db2
How exactly are virtual processor cores calculated? (Explanation, examples and exercise)
How do I collect data on actual usage? (Example: Db2 Standard Edition)
What do I have to consider with the metric VPC in relation to SubCapacity? (Example: Db2 Standard Edition)

The metric "RVU" (Resource Value Unit)

What all can be hidden behind an RVU?
Short explanation: IBM Filenet
How exactly are RVUs calculated? (Explanation, example IBM Filenet, incl. exercises)
How do I collect data on actual usage? (Example: Filenet)


What added value (for you) can you expect?

After attending this course, you will be able to calculate the licensing requirements for the metrics mentioned and thus better validate licensing offers and check whether the existing licensing may be undersized or oversized.

The case studies mentioned make it easier for you to communicate with the responsible product managers. The products discussed, but also abstract metrics, become much more "tangible".



Licence managers, software buyers and IT specialists who (have to) deal with IBM products based on the metrics PVU and/or, VPC and/or RVU.
For this training, a simple technical understanding and basic knowledge of IBM licensing law are assumed. For this, we recommend our IBM Basic Training DTL23.
This training does not deal with technical aspects of the products. Legal aspects are also not covered in this training.

The listed participant price does not include VAT.
The course price includes refreshments during the breaks: Drinks, pastries/fruit and lunch.
