HEre is the problem I have...

We have in excess of 30+ ESX Hosts, all have 4 CPU's
We also have SQL Clusters, Oracle, Exchange, SAP, on VM and you also
need to be licensed for them, and from the comments of the Sales guy, I
needed a price for each DB Client too !

It has added up to a huge bill !

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Best way to do ESXi 4.1 backup by Veritas
Netbackup.

Symantec changed the licensing where if you had 10 Windows guests and 10
Linux guests, you USED to need two Enterprise Client licenses.  This was
a 6.5 limitation.

In NBU 7, no longer.  Way to go, finally something right in licensing.
It's an Enterprise Client per PHYSICAL host, regardless of guest OS
type.
This is licensed per physical CPU or tier.

Because you have Enterprise clients, you need to have an Enterprise
master and enterprise media servers.  Again per CPU/tier, and that price
adds up.

Point being, buy as many cores as you can afford!  Don't buy a quad CPU
box.
