IBM Cloud Paks license concept1

The concept of calculating the price of each product of IBM Cloud Paks is VPC or MVS unit.
IBM Cloud Paks pricing
Type Explanation Types of Cloud Paks
PVU
Processor Value Unit
The number of PVUs required is based on the processor
technology (processor vendor, brand, type and model
number) and the number of processors available in the
Program.
VPC
Virtual Processer
Core
A processor core on a virtual server created by dividing the
resources available on a physical server, or on an
unpartitioned physical server.
 IBM Cloud Pak for Applications
 IBM Cloud Pak for Integration
 IBM Cloud Pak for Automation
 IBM Cloud Pak for Data
MVS
Managed Virtual Server
A non-virtualized physical server or a virtual computer
created by dividing the resources of a physical server.
 IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud
Management
 IBM Cloud Pak for Security

For example, if the software is installed in virtual server partition 1 (allocated to 4 cores) on an 8-
core physical server, the result will be as follows.

Trade-up your existing licenses to support and subscribe to your existing systems, as well as
licenses that can be used natively in the cloud in the future. The license can be used flexibly in
the current environment.

* If you want to trade up to ACE from IIB customers, you need to raise it to ACE v11.
* In addition to the above, trade-ups may be possible.

By trading up, you can switch products and purchase additional licenses according to the speed of your transition.
For Integration also grants the OpenShift usage rights required for containerization.

IBM Cloud Pak OpenShift is billable.
For Cloud Pak other than IBM Cloud Pak for Applications, OpenShift is included as a subordinate program.
How to count IBM Cloud Pak licenses
• The Cloud Pak for Applications (CP4A) license does not limit the intended use of OpenShift.
• If you use a Cloud Pak for Application license to use OpenShift, there are no restrictions on using OpenShift. Other Cloud Paks do not require a license to
use OpenShift, but can only be used as a Cloud Pak "subordinate program".
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is included to work with OpenShift. For other purposes, a separate RHEL license is required.

The billing model depends on the VPC and MVS. Compute is charged for managing the bootstrap
and control plane in a VPC.

* 1 If the number of Cloud Pak is fractional, it is necessary to procure the license by rounding up the decimal
point for each ratio setting.

Multiply the required quantity of the function you want to use by the required number of Cloud Pak calculation factors to calculate
the required license quantity. Please calculate the required number of Cloud Pak for each usage function (APIC, ACE, etc.) and for
each usage (production / non-production), and if it becomes a decimal point, round-up to an integer (example: 1.5 → 2) ).
IBM Cloud Pak for Integration Required Quantity Conversion Table
* 1 If the number of Cloud Pak is fractional, it is necessary to procure the license by rounding up the decimal point for each ratio setting.
(Example 1) If you want to use 1VPC in a production environment using MQ: 1VPC x 0.25 = 0.25 ⇒ Required Cloud Pak quantity “1”
(Example 2) If you want to use ACE in a production environment with 1 VPC: 1 VPC x 3 = Required Cloud Pak quantity "3"

If the number of Cloud Pak is fractional, you need to procure the license after rounding up the decimal for each ratio setting.
(* 1) The unit is 10,000 events per month. One Pak license gives 4 x 10,000 events / month.
In addition to the above, there are other IBM monitoring products for which the ratio is set. Please confirm the following linked license information.
