Multi-core processors

Hi All,

Paying £10,000 for licenses on a £100,000 server makes sense – but when the hardware costs fall by 50%, why don't the licenses? With high-end core processors, dual processors and multi-core processors, how are vendors' pricing strategies adjusting to the new marketplace? This feature looks at the new licensing models, and how to work out whether a proposed deal offers good value for money – does performance match pricing?

If you can help, email me

Thanks
