Comment on Cloud Computing Solution Provider – VMware by Rodos

Thanks for the kind words.

You mention a critical point. Selling to different groups or customer bases. This is a key challenge for VMware moving forward given their current go to market sales and channel model. There will be areas that are move away from the one off license revenue and maintenance sales to license rentals. This transition may be difficult for them. Also maybe some longer sales cycles.

Interesting times.

Comment on Ideal Software Licensing Model – Requirements Collection by BradC

BradC — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:23:28 +0000

I often find that trying to figure out and/or conform to licensing models is more expensive that the dollar amount we would pay for it, making open source and home grown solutions much more economical.

For most software, don’t license based on the computer that the software is running on, license based on how the software is going to be used, or based on a number or set of numbers that is within the domain of the value you are providing. If it’s a SQL server then limit database size, database count, or transactions per second. If it’s a web shopping cart then limit the number of items for sale, or the total dollar amount per month.

IT software is where virtualization causes problems, since the hardware is the domain of the software. If a monitoring or backup software is based on the number of hosts, it costs me money to break a large application into multiple VMs. If it’s licensed based on virtual hosts then it costs me more to buy lots of small hosts instead of a few large ones.To make it worse, if the VM does it’s job, there’s no fool-proof way for the licensed software to even know that it’s in a VM, making enforcing any sort of special VM-only licensing very difficult.

Comment on Running 20008 Active Directory with Bind by Bruno

Bruno — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:27:10 +0000

Hi
We’ve been using Bind and AD for several years now by allowing automatic updates only for DCS. Since we also use third party Dns management tool, we just added the contents of c:\winnt\system32\config\netlogon.dns to the automatically loaded dns list of the tool. This file contains all what your dc is trying to publish to Dns.
