Description

Delivering Innovations, Including for AI, Against the 12 Cs for Modern Enterprise Computing, and the New IBM z16

This IDC Perspective discusses 12 requirements that a compute platform must fulfill to be considered a modern enterprise computing platform as well as several innovations that the IBM z16 delivers to address these requirements. With the launch of the IBM z16, IBM has delivered innovations for several critical elements of modern enterprise computing, namely, with regard to capacity, continuity and compliance, cognition, cloud compatibility, community-based software, consumption-based cost, and cryptographic capability. Together with innovations from past generations, this puts the z16 in an advanced position in the enterprise computing market. "IBM was already ticking off all the boxes for modern enterprise computing after the innovations of the past three IBM Z generations," says Peter Rutten, research vice president, Performance-Intensive Computing at IDC. "Now with the IBM z16, the platform delivers groundbreaking innovations in this market on several fronts, including for AI, that are critical for enterprises."

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.
