GigaIO Vendor Profile: Ushering in the Era of Open, Truly Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure

This IDC Perspective discusses how GigaIO is helping usher in the era of open, truly composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI). Composable disaggregated infrastructure promises to enable improved IT infrastructure efficiency and lower costs for the AI and other demanding workloads being deployed as enterprises move to a "digital first" orientation in their business models. There have been several false starts in this space built around proprietary offerings, but standards have emerged that are being supported by multiple vendors in this area, and IDC published its first revenue forecast for CDI in May 2021. After discussing how the market is developing, this document discusses GigaIO, an early entrant in the CDI space that is gaining significant traction already."Driven by the evolving compute and storage needs of artificial intelligence–driven workloads being deployed as part of digital transformation, enterprises are looking to harness the advantages of composable, disaggregated infrastructure to allow better resource sharing, enable easier bursting and scalability, and lower infrastructure costs," said Eric Burgener, research vice president, Infrastructure Systems Group, IDC. "GigaIO has established itself as an early leader in this market segment with a solution that is based around well-accepted industry standards and provides support for heterogeneous compute, memory, storage, and networking device types."

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.
