Or more costly.  We have test VM servers with quad-core processors running
15-VM guests.   If I started counting by T-Bytes backed-up, it would cost
a lot more than 4-CPU's!

Haven't heard that.
My first thought is that it would make licensing
a LOT easier to figure out!

Within the last few months there was a series of messages on counting
processor cores. A couple of the messages stated that TSM is moving to
licensing based on terabytes of stored data rather than processor
cores. Where can I find more information on this?
