Oracle licenses: advice

Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition 2 ?

License management and the use of licenses is specialist work: the regulations are extensive and the application options are very diverse. To properly purchase, deploy and manage your licenses, you need people with expertise. DBA.nl has these professionals in-house.

Questions that are addressed are, for example:

• What licenses and editions are available?
• What are the costs and prices of the different options?

Advice on License audit

Established software companies like Oracle are becoming increasingly dependent on their existing customer base. As a result, they are developing more and more activities to investigate whether their customers have purchased sufficient licenses. Oracle has the Oracle License Management Services (LMS) department for this. Oracle LMS is all about monitoring your license usage. Oracle also has third parties such as Garmendia perform audits on environments, third parties who – as we now know from experience – benefit from purchasing licenses as a result of these audits. Full knowledge of your current Oracle architecture is essential. For example, did you know that removing an unnecessary server processor can easily save you tens of thousands of dollars? DBA.nl can support you with an audit of your environment. It goes without saying that the sooner you enlist our help, the more we can do for you.

License Management

The Oracle software and associated licensing rules have become more extensive and complex over the years. For example, how to license with virtualization and high availability? Contrarily enough, more and more organizations are investing in ICT infrastructure without making a correct assessment of the consequences on the Oracle licensing level. DBA.nl can take the management of your Oracle licenses off your hands. You remain guaranteed in compliance, so you can have a worry-free conversation with one of our Oracle auditors. Our Oracle license management differs from other, similar parties in that we always keep a critical eye on the technical side of the whole in addition to the license and the legal aspects. This way you always maintain a high-quality database platform at minimal investments in the field of licenses and support fees.
