IBM i License Transfer
 Consente il trasferimento di licenze IBM i
processor-based tra sistemi selezionati
– Disponibile WW via configuratore IBM : 13 aprile
– SWMA richiesta sia per sistema di partenza sia per sistema di
arrivo
– Sistema di partenza deve risultare installato presso il Cliente da
almeno un anno
– Si applica a licenze opzionali e non a licenze base “packaged”
– Fee di trasferimento della titolarita’ a nuovo sistema per ciascuna
licenza trasferita + differenza fra gruppi SW se applicabile
– Disponibile per 550 e modelli piu’ grandi
Da
POWER5, 6, 7
Rende piu’ facile:
 Sostituire sistemi
 Consolidare sistemi
 Spostare workload

Facilitare le migrazioni a POWER6 e POWER7
 Cambio di Modello
– Mantenimento numero di matricola, trasferimento delle
licenze IBM i e degli enterprise enablement
 Trasferimento licenze IBM i
– Possibilita’ di trasferire licenze IBM i all’interno dello
stesso gruppo aziendale (modelli 550 e superiori)
 Move up to i
– Incentivo per facilitare la migrazione da sistemi
precedenti fornendo licenza IBM i no charge sul
nuovo sistema
–Dal 13 aprile si aggiungono nuovi modelli
POWER7 come sistema di arrivo
•Power System 750
•PS 700, PS 701, PS 702
–Si aggiungono nuovi sistemi di partenza:

Continuare a vendere POWER6 nel 2010
 I server POWER6 sono un’ottima scelta per i clienti IBM i in SMB
– Power 520 fornisce ottimi prezzi e tutta la capacita’ richiesta alla maggioranza di clienti IBM i
 I server POWER6 supportano IBM i 5.4
– I Server POWER6 sono la scelta ottima per clienti che devono/desiderano rimanere a release 5.4
o che migrano da release 5.2
 Saranno disponibili in futuro cambi di modello da POWER6 520 2-core
e 4-core a server POWER7
– Protezione dell’investimento in IBM i
 Cambi di modello 570 - da ricordare….
– Supporto e-config gia’ disponibile, disponibilita’ 4 giugno
– Non sono disponibili cambi di modello 570 da POWER 5 a POWER7
– I cambi di modello 570 POWER5 -> POWER6 saranno ritirati a gennaio 2011
– E’ necessario fare mes amministrativo per trasformare modelli POWER6 9406-MMA in 9117-MMA

Multi-Language Distribution Media
 IBM i 7.1 packages 51 NLVs into 3 language groups for keyed media set
– IBM i 6.1 and previous versions/releases packaged each NLV separately
– One language group will deliver 11-21 NLVs, depending on group ordered
– US English included in each language group
 Provides simplified ordering and software delivery
 Secondary language media can still be ordered, if desired
 No change for products (LPs) shipped individually, these continue to ship
the product with all languages/NLVs
