Description

This IDC Perspective discusses how cloud observability solutions represent the next generation of cloud (infrastructure and applications) monitoring systems that can continuously and comprehensive measure the digital infrastructure of organizations and help deliver consistent service, swift problem resolution, and threat mitigation. By providing detailed intelligence, in-depth insights, and precise directed actions, observability solutions have a positive impact on many IT operational tasks and strategic IT and business management efforts."The need for observability solutions for cloud environments is key in this era of hybrid cloud and multicloud. Organizations must leverage data from applications, platforms, and underlying infrastructure to generate in-depth and forward-looking intelligence and insights that will ensure the precise and proper design, deployment, operation, repair, protection, and evolution of the cloud infrastructure," says Shouvik Nag, senior research analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
