Server Infrastructure: On-Premise Server + Cal Per Core * * * Enterprise Standard Business Intelligence SQL Server 2014 Licensing Options * Standard: Basic database, reporting and analytic capabilities Enterprise: For mission critical applications and large scale data warehousing Business Intelligence: for premium corporate and self-service BI
- 10. Server Infrastructure: On-Premise Licensing Model Per Core: SQL Server Enterprise and Standard Determining the number of licenses required for SQL Server Enterprise and Standard running in the physical OSE: May be licensed based on all they physical cores on the server. The number of licenses required equals the number of physical cores on the server (minimum of 4). Licenses of SQL core are sold in pairs.

- 15. A brief introduction… • Began: 2004 • Consultants: 15 full-time • Offerings: Microsoft, Adobe, SaaS, Storage, Virtualization, Converged Infrastructure • Delivered 1200+ assessments last year
- 16. SQL TechCheck Overview • Started in 2011 to help with the Processor to Core licensing change. • Help you move toward proactive and planned expenditures – and honor MS licensing rules.
- 17. SQL TechCheck Overview • Purpose • To proactively: • understand your current SQL licensing state • discover ways to optimize existing licensing • Process • Collect inventory and performance data • Workshop the data with you • Payoff • Actionable output that you can use right away
- 19. SQL TechCheck Overview • You can expect… • Current compliance today • Possible improvements through: • P2V and V2V consolidation • Maximize license rights • Walking through licensing ‘gotchas’ • Utilizing Azure where appropriate • Cost savings estimate.

- 21. SQL TechCheck Overview • Case Study • Who: A west-coast healthcare provider with a looming renewal. • The Issues: Many physical and virtual servers. • The outcome: $1.5M saved over three years by changing how licenses are used and consolidating P2V and V2V. Now license compliant at a lower cost.

Editor's Notes
- #7: End of support means: No security updates Many critical updates were released SQL Server 2005 under Support. No updates will be developed or released after end of extended support. Higher maintenance costs Staying put will cost more in the end. Maintenance costs for aging hardware will also increase. Added costs will be incurred for intrusion detection systems, more advanced firewalls, network segmentation, and so on—simply to isolate SQL Server 2005 databases. Compliance Concerns Lack of compliance with various standards and regulations can be devastating. This may include various regulatory and industry standards for which compliance can no longer be achieved. For example, lack of compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards might mean companies such as Visa and MasterCard will no longer do business with you. Or, the new cost of doing business will include paying catastrophic penalties and astronomically high transaction fees. Many applications will also cease to be supported, once the database system they are running on is unsupported. Now is the time to act You must start planning migration now. Servers may still be running SQL Server 2005 for a number of reasons. You can use these reasons as a discussion point: Perceived challenges of upgrading applications Presence of custom and legacy applications Budget and resource constraints “It still works”
- #10: There are 3 editions of SQL server; Standard BI, and Enterprise. SQL Standard can be licensed by server/CAL or by core. SQL BI is licensed by Server/CAL SQL Enterprise is licensed by core.
- #11: SQL is now licensed by core with a minimum of 4 cores per processor. If a server has 2 cores it must be licensed for 4 cores. If a server has 6 cores then 6 cores licenses. Each SQL license is for 2 cores.
- #24: When it comes to modernizing your data platform, Microsoft offers a unique level of flexibility as you migrate from older databases. There are a number of options that span from updating on your existing servers to running your database as a service in the cloud. Here are three great options to consider: With Windows Server 2012 R2, you can virtualize your server and run SQL Server 2014 in this virtualized environment. One of the great benefits of virtualization is that you can consolidate—that is, running multiple applications or workloads on the same server, while each maintains it’s own separate environment. You can also host your SQL Server database in the cloud by moving it into a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine. Because it’s hosted in the cloud, you can leverage the high availability of Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure while reducing capital expense for purchasing your own hardware and related IT costs. If you have web applications, another great option is to use Microsoft Azure SQL Database, which is a database-as-a-service in the cloud. With this option, you get the benefits of a cloud infrastructure with enterprise grade security and scale, high availability, superior performance, and near-zero maintenance. Customers are realizing significant business benefits by modernizing the data platform with SQL Server 2014 and Microsoft Azure. It provides a quick on ramp to the cloud, and the ability to reduce CAPEX and OPEX. According to a Forrester TEI study, businesses achieved a 9.5 month payback when migrating to SQL Server 2014. Forrester also found that business earned an ROI of 349% by migrating to Microsoft Azure. http://migrationplanningassistant.azurewebsites.net/
