[Info-vax] How does VSI license pricing on Itanium work? By socket, by core, by relative performance. I can't get a straight answer from VSI.

[David Turner]

Operating System (Operating Environment) are sold as PER SOCKET LICENSES

Addons, like clustering and volume shadowing etc are per core still I 
believe

That basically means you have to get a bank loan for Clustering and Vol 
Shadowing unless you upgrade from BASIC OPERATING ENVIRONMENT (BOE) to 
High-Availability Operating Environment (HA-OE)


So to confirm , VSI does what HPE has been doing.  Per Socket for OS, 
per core for others
