UNIX Server Packaging Changes Coming in April
=============================================
In April, new packaging with UNIX AlphaServer systems will be implemented.
o Digital UNIX Unlimited user licenses will be bundled with the systems
Additionally, PrintExchange, Netscape Server and Java Runtime will
be bundled with systems. (NetWorker single server continues to
be bundled with Digital UNIX.)
o NAS packages will NOT be bundled with new Digital UNIX AlphaServer
systems.
Product NAS 200 Post April
DECMSGQ yes line item software
Objectbroker yes line item software
UNIX Server ext. yes part of Digital UNIX
NetWorker server yes part of StorageWorks PLUS
software package (line
item software)
Adv. File System Util yes part of StorageWorks
Software packages (Line
item software)
Logical Storage Mgr yes part of StorageWorks
Software packages (Line
item software)
o Recommending StorageWorks Software packages to provide
leading storage solutions at the best prices in the market.
Competitive Update:
This packaging accomplishes the following:
- parity with other UNIX system vendors (ie, Sun bundles unlimited user
licenses with the O/S and sells as line item software storage mgmt tools)
- delivers greater value by packaging the leading storage mgmt software
tools at great prices
Sales Update will be online March 25. Price file implementation is April 7.
Marketing deliverables available over next 4-6 weeks.

My customer currently has an 8200 running DU V3. We are planning to
buy a new 8200 to cluster with it, upgrading to V4 at the same time.
Now that the NAS package will not be bundled, does the customer have
to pay extra for this storageworks license (It's not cheap - see
extract from sales update, below)?
Regards,

Yup, if the system package you order does not have NAS200 in it, then you need to purchase it separately...the choice is StorageWorks or StorageWorks PLUS (with Networker). They are getting the unlimited user licnese, and it makes our offering more in line with our competitors. > > Regards, > > Jc > > QB-5RXAE-AA > StorageWorks Software, Workgroup license > $3,000 > QB-5RXAG-AA > StorageWorks Software, Departmental > license > $7,400 > QB-5RXAQ-AA > StorageWorks Software, Enterprise license > $16,500 | |||||

Thanks Eric,
How can I tell if the s/w is bundled with ahardware package?

P.S. The unlimited licence does not help this customer - he only needs
a 2-user licence!

The SOC should show this...in general most will not include NAS any more, but a couple may linger for up to a quarter. regards Eric | |||||

Interesting..
The SOC has NAS200 bundled with the 8200 300MHz and NOT bundled with
the 440MHz. Customer not impressed (I guess no-0one read the small
print before placing the order last week).
