Description

This IDC Market Perspective examines the renewed interest in containerization among EMEA enterprises, who are accelerating container investments to modernize IT infrastructure, driven by AI innovation, cost optimization, and resilience needs. Containers offer portability, disaster recovery, and compliance advantages but require data management, storage scalability, and automation to run mission-critical workloads. Technology providers must deliver intelligent, flexible, and secure data services to address evolving enterprise requirements by enabling seamless migration, protection, and management of containerized applications across hybrid environments.“As EMEA enterprises race to modernize, containerization holds tremendous promise to deliver resilience, sovereignty, and AI-driven innovation. However, this is only possible if organizations are able to successfully address management complexity and mitigate data management risks with the help of enterprise-grade container data services, real-time monitoring, easy data portability, and policy-driven management.” — Senior Research Director Archana Venkatraman, European Data Management and Cloud Operations Research, IDC

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.
