Virtually Thinking
If you’re planning the move to a virtual infrastructure…
And you should, quite frankly…
Don’t forget the all-important licensing question.
Staying license compliant in a virtual environment can be even more of a pain than in a physical environment.
All that flexibility can mean even more opportunities to violate the h-e-double-hockey-stick out of licensing agreements.
So at least take mothership’s virtual license calculators for a spin.
It will give you a brief glimpse into the size of the check your achingly beautiful design is writing that your budget might not be able to cash.
But it might also show you how a copy of Enterprise Edition, with its included rights to run up to 4 virtual instances on a single machine, might just be hellaciously cheaper than going with Standard Edition right off the bat.
And beware the realities of support for virtual environments, which I’ll be talking about a little later today.
