Just a quick follow-on to what mitch808 said, in that the "Nbu Clt App and DB Pk" is also priced on a per physical server basis now as opposed to per guest basis. So with some reorganization of you're guests down to fewer physical servers you could probably drop the licensing costs down a bit. -John On 05/26/2011 05:51 AM, WEAVER, Simon (external) wrote: > 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 ! > Simon > > -----Original Message----- > From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of > mitch808 > Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 7:49 AM > To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > 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.
