Purpose of This Guide: This document is primarily to serve as a licensing reference guide on options available for Veritas InfoScale products including: InfoScale Foundation, InfoScale Storage, InfoScale Availability, and InfoScale Enterprise. All pricing and SKUs should be obtained from the current appropriate regional price list. This document is intended for use internally and externally by Veritas and Veritas customers and Partners. Veritas reserves the right to change this document at any time without notice. 2. Product Overview Veritas™ InfoScale addresses enterprise storage management and IT service continuity needs. It draws on Veritas’ long heritage of storage management and availability solutions to help IT teams realize reliable, predictable, and high performing operations across their physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. It incorporates the technologies underlying the Storage Foundation High Availability family and provides software--- defined storage and resiliency for critical services across the data center infrastructure. The solution provides high availability and disaster recovery for complex multi---tiered applications across any distance. Veritas InfoScale™ Foundation delivers basic heterogeneous storage management while increasing storage utilization and enhancing storage I/O path availability for physical and virtual environments. Veritas InfoScale™ Storage enables organizations to provision and manage storage independently of hardware types or locations while delivering predictable Quality---of---Service, higher performance, and better Return---on--- Investment. Veritas InfoScale™ Availability helps keep an organization’s information and critical business services up and running on premise and across globally dispersed data centers through local clustering and disaster recovery to remote sites. Veritas InfoScale™ Enterprise addresses enterprise IT service continuity needs. It provides resiliency and software defined storage for critical services across your datacenter infrastructure. The Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability product functionality is included in the InfoScale products as follows.

InfoScale Licensing Metering When Veritas Technologies, the benchmark in Software Defined Storage solutions, updated the Storage Foundation Suite to the InfoScale Family, we adjusted our licensing options to simplify purchasing and deployment without sacrificing flexibility, selection options, and most importantly meeting your company’s compliance policies. Licensing storage and availability solutions doesn’t have to be overwhelming. When it comes to InfoScale licensing we are now offering an easy to remember the 2 X 2 option: two licensing meters and two model types. 3.1. License Meters For the licensing meters, you can choose to go with per-core licensing, typically considered the industry standard, where you pay based on the number of cores in your machines. The other option is to purchase server-tier licenses available for UNIX only. Server-tier licenses are designed to make it easier to manage bulk purchases by classifying servers into specific Tiers (Tiers A – N). Tiering is determined based on server and processor capabilities (i.e.: computing power, performance, clock speed, capacity, etc.). 3.2. License Models For the licensing models, you can purchase perpetual licenses allowing you to use the licensed solution indefinitely. In parallel, you can purchase suitable maintenance options for industry leading support throughout the product’s lifecycle. Veritas InfoScale™ Licensing Guide 3 You can also opt for the subscription model which comes included with maintenance and offers different monthly terms. 4. Meter Definitions 4.1. Metering by “Core” for Linux, Windows, or UNIX • Per “Core” licensing is required for Linux and Windows, and recommended for UNIX • One license is required for each “Core” where an InfoScale product is deployed and running, regardless of server models and processor architecture. • A” Core” is defined as a functional unit on a processor that reads, interprets, and executes computer instructions, including instructions from the licensed software. • A “Core” refers to the processor or execution core contained in the same integrated circuit within a computer’s central processing unit, whether such” Cores” are virtual or physical. • A multi---core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent “Cores". • Only “Cores” that are in use need to be licensed. “Cores” disabled at the kernel level do not require licenses. • “Cores” are counted based actual cores in the machines and not for any additional threads based on hyperthreading, or other multi-threaded per core technology. 4.2. Metering by Server for UNIX • One license is required per server • Hardware server SKUs are tiered by server type classifications (Tiers A-N) graduating higher based on the size and performance of the Unix system. • Available for UNIX only • If at any time a customer wishes to transfer from per server to per core metering, this option is available, contact your Veritas Sales Contact. 4.3. Determining the Server License Tier to Select the Veritas SKU Manufacturer servers are assigned a tier classification A-N which correspond to unique Veritas SKUs at different price points. The Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) offers license calculators for the InfoScale/Storage Foundation family. Use the Server Tier tab to enter and identify your server by tier, example A. If you have a virtual server environment or a server with multiple processor cores, per core licensing may be a better choice. Meters Platform Available Per-Core Licensing UNIX, Linux, and Windows Server-Tier Licensing UNIX only Models Licensing Model Type Perpetual Licensing Indefinite usage in which esential maintenance is purchased for an additional charge in 12, 24, 36 month packages Subscription Licensing Offered in 12, 24, 36 month terms and comes standard with essential maintenance InfoScale Meters and Models Veritas InfoScale™ Licensing Guide 4 4.4. Licensing Per Instance with InfoScale 7.4.1 Prior to the release of InfoScale 7.4.1, a customer could license multiple products such as Storage Foundation High Availability, and InfoScale Storage on the same instance. With the release of InfoScale 7.4.1, one license is allowed per instance. It is to the customer’s benefit to license InfoScale Enterprise to fully license the instance, instead of licensing Storage Foundation High Availability and InfoScale Storage keys on a given instance. Also note that InfoScale 7.2 is the last release for VxDMP for VMware. 7.3 Release Notes state Veritas will no longer support VxDMP for VMware in next release. 5. Services Operations Readiness Tool (SORT) The Services Operations Readiness Tool is a resource for platform support status and license calculations. Below is an example of a license calculation to determine the server tier for an Oracle Sun SPARC server. Listed are the options to choose to license by core (6 cores, recommended), or by Server Tier (B). 6. Licensing for Virtual Server Environments Customers running InfoScale products in virtual server environments are required to acquire licenses only for the Cores that are running the products, regardless of the virtualization platform. The process for counting cores for virtual machine (VM) deployments is as follows: 1. Determine the number of virtual” Cores” assigned to all guests by the guest OS. 2. Determine the number of physical “Cores” available to the VMs. Veritas InfoScale™ Licensing Guide 5 3. Compare the total number of virtual “Cores” assigned to VMs and the total number of physical “Cores” available to the VMs. 4. The number of “Cores” to license is the minimum between the number of virtual “Cores” assigned to all VM instances and the number uploads/s1/ infoscale-licensing-guide.pdf
