2 QuesMon What percentage of your so7ware budget is spent in the datacenter? 1 : 0 25% 2 : 26 50% 3 : 51 75% 4 : %

3 New Challenges in Datacenter " Gartner: In 2014; 69% of a datacenter budget is so7ware and license costs " Complex licenses rules, policies and price models for business so7ware e.g. ERP, CMDB, etc. " MulMple plaxorms such as Terminal Servers, ApplicaMon virtualizamon, Server VirtualizaMon, all with different dependencies on your license opmmizamon and compliance.

4 Snow License Manager 7 in the Datacenter VDA licensing for VDI environments Manage the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure environment by tracking VDIs & automamcally calcula<ng VDA licensing requirements Support for IBM PVU compliance Take control of IBM licensing with automamc calculamon of Processor Value Unit (PVU) license requirements Enhanced Oracle opmmizamon Oracle Op<miza<on has been enhanced with the ability to associate Orders with Devices & Databases & track Named Users Compliance for any license metric Support all licensing types with Custom Compare Values and Custom Fields to import any license metric and use this as part of the compliance calculamon Extended license coverage Avoid over- licensing enterprise apps with Extended Licenses to cover passive cluster nodes, DR servers & test servers SAP opmmizamon Provide a holismc picture of each user in an enterprise, and determine if a user has the proper SAP license or if one is required.

5 Licensing from Desktop to Datacenter Manage all license consumpmon with Snow Server VirtualizaMon Microso7 VMM/Hyper- V, VMware vsphere and Citrix XenServer. Desktop VirtualizaMon Virtual Desktops Infrastructure (VDI) (BYOD) Session VirtualizaMon Citrix XenApp and Microso7 Remote Desktop Services (BYOD). ApplicaMon VirtualizaMon Microso7 App- V, VMware ThinApp and Citrix XenApp (BYOD)

6 Licensing from desktop to datacenter Server VirtualizaMon EffecMve license management in virtual environments such as Microso7 VMM/Hyper- V, VMware vsphere and Citrix XenServer. All necessary data is gathered to opmmize your datacenter so7ware spend. Desktop VirtualizaMon Keep track of all your Virtual Desktops (VDI) and all the devices that have accessed a virtual desktop and require a VDA license. Track usage from all devices (BYOD). MiMgate risk and avoid overspend Session VirtualizaMon Make sure that all the pracmcal benefits of virtualizamon also are an advantage within your license management. Track usage from all devices (BYOD). MiMgate risk and avoid overspend Full support for virtualizamon solumons such as Citrix XenApp and Microso7 Remote Desktop Services. ApplicaMon VirtualizaMon Manage cost of virtual applicamons in the same powerful way that you would with a physical installamon. Track usage from all devices (BYOD). Support for a number of virtualizamons solumons: Microso7 App- V, VMware ThinApp and Citrix XenApp

7 Datacenter license management Server CPU = 2 Cores = 16 RAM = 192 Gb Server VirtualizaMon Server CPU = 2 Cores = 16 RAM = 192 Gb Gb Server CPU = 2 Cores = 16 RAM = 192 Gb Our Datacenter scanners idenmfies the datacenters, discovers all physical servers and the virtual machines running on each host. Manage licensing for environments covered by use rights on exismng licenses, such as passive cluster nodes, disaster recovery, test environments and stand- by servers The datacenter scanner discovers new non- inventoried virtual machines when added. Changes in the environment is automamcally updated if a virtual machine has moved from one physical server to another. AutomaMc detecmon of hardware upgrades/changes affecmng compliance.

8 Datacenter license management Support for complex datacenter license metrics based on resources or consumpmon: Number of processors in datacenter In physical server In virtual server Number of cores in datacenter In physical server In virtual server IBM Processor Value Unit (PVU) Number of transacmons Memory related license Number of users with access Number of employees (FTE) Customer specific license metrics

9 QuesMon Which vendors from the opmons below are your biggest challenge(s) to manage in the Datacenter? (Choose your top 3) 1 : Oracle 2 : IBM 3 : SAP 4 : VMWare 5 : Hyper- V 6 : Citrix

10 Desktop VirtualizaMon VDA licensing for VDI environments Avoid overspend in Virtual Desktop Environments (VDI) MiMgate risk of incompliance Automate the complex calculamon of Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) license requirements

11 Desktop VirtualizaMon 1. Discovery: 100 Computers running Windows Windows 8 licenses purchased 2. Reality: 50 desktops and 50 virtual desktops Overspend = 50 Windows 8 Licenses Non- compliance = All devices accessing VDI = 100 = 100 = 50 = Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) = 50 = = 25 = Op<mize: Product use rights 100 Devices (BYOD) = 100 VDA licenses Compliant but overspend = Only 50 VDA licenses is required (VDA is included in SA) = 50 = 50 = 50 = = 25 = 25

12 Oracle Management OpMon Oracle's licensing model is very complex and for many organisations, a license audit from Oracle could be very costly Key benefits " Avoid overspend on OpMons and Management Packs " Save Mme and resources with automated OSW (Oracle Server Worksheet) report " Minimize the risk of over installamon in cluster environments " Instant overview, see what licenses covers what servers. " Oracle opmmizamon " Unused OpMons " InacMve User account " Virtual environments Key features " Out- of- the- box funcmonality " One agent, zero configuramon " Quick deployment " MulM- plaxorm support " IdenMfy and manage " Products and EdiMons " Orders and agreements (e.g. OLSA, OMA) " Enterprise OpMons and Management Packs " Feature Usage StaMsMcs " User account status " Oracle Cluster configuramon (RAC/DG) " Hypervisor detecmon (e.g. LPAR, ZONES) " Standard Oracle Reports (e.g. OSW)

13 QuesMon With reference to our Snow Maturity Programme, where would you rate your maturity in the Datacenter from a So7ware License Management perspecmve? 1 : FoundaMon 2 : Control 3 : OpMmizaMon 4 : Dynamic

14 Why SAM for SAP Enterprises spent more than $24 billion last year on SAP licenses and maintenance alone Average SAP license costs $4000, average yearly maintenance/ run cost is $1518/year/user SAP costs have risen more than 10% per year over the last decade, taking increasing slice of spending We esmmate that 20%+ of SAP spending is unnecessary, BIG SAVINGS AT STAKE! $5 billion USD+/year

15 The Math If each SAP user, on average costs $1518/year for maintenance and running costs... And the Snow SAP OpMmizer costs about $15/user, 1% waste is break- even If average SAP license is $4000, if 1 out of 250 users is wrong, it makes economic sense

16 Snow SAP OpMmizer Helps you get a baseline inventory of all deployed SAP licenses Reduces or eliminates duplicate, obsolete and erroneous SAP users Custom fits the correct license/role type for each user based on their actual behavior Provides valuable pre- audit materials to assure compliance and costs op<miza<on
