Re: WebSphere 4 License

Jon, Jon, Jon....

You could be right. I forgot the "Citrix King" was lurking in the
shadows". All I know...A) JD Edwards does not believe WS Single Server
Edition is appropriate for OW/ERP (there is a GATS document outlining
reasoning, the name/number escapes me at this moment in the AM), and that
the recommended WS Advanced Server Edition from IBM's website SRP's at
10K per processor...so even if you've cut a deal with IBM to knock it
down to 4K per, it's going to be at least 8K, or SRP around 20K for the
license. Now I'm not going to debate you over the fact of support and
maintenence...I've certainly installed my share of web servers for OW
that went off without a hitch...but I've also had those that needed quite
a few call for support. If it was my installation, and my gluteus
maximus (maximizing greater every day it seems) were on the line for my
companys' enterprise app...I sure wouldn't skimp on the support and
maintence fees for a support software component critical to user access.


I certainly agree that we are talking about installations with 200 or
more users...but that is majority of JD Edwards target, the mid market
audience. If you only have a user base needing a single or at most a
couple servers, then of course the technology foundation doesn't make
sense if, IF, all you need is WS.

And FYI...all of the software in the technology bundle is included with
purchase, and YES, the price is negotiable...with the caveat that it is
used only in the direct support of OneWorld/ERP. It does include UDB,
Domino, Portal, WS, etc., etc..

Hope you are doing well..haven't seen a post from you in a few days...or
are we boring you with talk of Terminal Server Development and Spanglish
language. The beer...well the next time I'm home for more than enough
time to wash clothes and head back to the airport...we'll do it!!

Jim
