Enterprise edition: Processor taxonomy

Single integrated

Thread 1 semiconductor. Today’s dies
Hyper-threading
Intel’s proprietary Core 0 are packaged with two or
simultaneous more independent processor
Thread 2 units called “cores.”

Data collection for Oracle Enterprise Edition
We will use these data points for a few scenarios
Oracle processor core factor table
Effective Date: March 16, 2006
Assumptions:
 Number of CPU cores: 4
 Oracle database edition: Enterprise Edition
 License type: Processor License

Assumptions: Processor License Software Update License and support

 Enterprise Edition: $47,500 $10,450
 Multitenant: $17,500 $3,850

Formulas for estimating Oracle licensing
We will use these data points for a few scenarios
Number of licenses?
Processor cores * core factor = number of database licenses 4 * .5 = 2
License cost with core factor
EE license cost * number of licenses = license cost $47,500 * 2 = $95,000
Multi-tenant option license cost

Multitenant cost * core factor = license cost $17,500 * 2 = $35,000
EE license support cost $10,450 * 2 = $20,900
Multitenant support cost $3, 850 * 2 = $7,700
Grand total $158,600

Myth:partitioning
Soft soft partitioning
Oracle soft partitioning policy
“Unless explicitly stated elsewhere in this document, soft partitioning is not permitted as a means to determine or limit
the number of software licenses required for any given server or clusters.”
…
“Any technology not listed in the Hard Partitioning section of this document is considered soft partitioning technology.”
“This document is for education purposes only and provides guidelines regarding Oracle’s policies in effect as of April 5, 2016. This may not
be incorporated into any contract and does not constitute a contract or a commitment to any specific terms.”

What is ScaleIO?
Software that creates a scale-out, highly performant and resilient hyper-converged infrastructure or external
storage system out of standard x86 servers with DAS
Creates a scale-out, server-based infrastructure that pools

Software
local storage and performance resources
Any combination of virtual AND physical OSs: Windows,

OS Agnostic Linux, VMware, etc.
Media Agnostic HDDs, SSDs, and PCIe flash devices
Server Agnostic Runs on any x86 server

What is ScaleIO?
Two super-lightweight pieces of software that combine to deliver an incredibly differentiated value proposition

Rules to determine license compliance

House of Brick
• Oracle license review – Understand Oracle license usage and determine any
compliance issues.
• Oracle license optimization – Create architectures and procedures that minimize the
Oracle licensing footprint while maximizing the benefits of VMware virtualized systems.
This focuses on analysis of both the primary and DR/HA environments.
• Oracle audit defense – Defend customers who have received an Oracle audit notice
(or the threat of one).
• ULA exit consulting – Maximize the benefits of exiting an Unlimited License

Agreement (ULA), and develop strategies for ongoing license management.
• New and renewal license consulting – Determine the amount of license client’s
actually need for their virtual environments.
• Managed license support service for Oracle – Provide ongoing proactive support for
the Oracle environment to ensure compliance. This service uses a combination of
innovative tools and advanced consulting, and delivers unlimited support for Oracle
audit defense.
