licensing oracle

qualche buona notizia dal nuovo schema di licensing di Oracle del 16/02/2007...

cambiano le regole per la standard edition e la standard edition one, riporto la FAQ:

Q: Do the multicore processor licensing changes impact how Oracle Database Standard Edition and Standard Edition One are calculated?

A: Yes. According to the latest amendment to the hardware-licensing requirement for Database SE and SE One programs, the following policy applies:
Oracle Database Standard Edition can only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 4 sockets. When using RAC to cluster this limitation is mirrored in the cluster. It may be licensed on a single cluster of servers supporting up to a maximum of four sockets.
For SE One programs: Oracle Standard Edition One may only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 2 sockets
Note that this change is retroactive and applies to all customers licensed for these programs previously. 

 in sostanza c'e' un grandissimo vantaggio per i sistemi pesantemente multithreaded con pochi socket (fino a 4) ... Niagara anyone??
