Just wanted to vent frustration at the high prices IBM come up with for Extended edition licenses with their PVU model...
I've got a requirement to backup 2 x 24 core intel servers and the PVU calculator = 4800 PVUs... just got a quote back and before discount its around £19k ... just to backup two servers, which seems completely ridiculous.
My Arcserve colleagues are laughing , they claim they can back them up for less than £100.. no way I can argue with management about which product suite should be used for these servers which are development environment.
