RE: 15 years of Version 7 ...

Thanks Art. They gave a price for the minimum so I suspect that it didn't include all of the bells and whistles.

To: im_gumby@hotmail.com CC: informix-list@iiug.org Here's the scoop: A minimum 5 Authorized User (AU) License of ODS Workgroup Edition (WGE) is about $1,860.00 or Express Edition (Ex) would be $775 or a minimum 5 Concurrent Session (CS) license would be $2,420 for WGE (no CS licensing for IDS Ex). The Parallel Performance Feature (not available to Express Edition licenses), which was included in the 7.10 days, adds $900 to the WGE AU license ($2,760 total) or $1,175 to the WGE CS license ($3,595 total). The minimum for Enterprise Edition (EE) is 100 PVU 25 AU's at $24,875 or 10 Concurrent Sessions (CS) at $21,900 Processor Value Unit pricing for IDS Ex is $5,175 for a single dual core Intel box (100 PVU), WE is $10,600 and EE $51,500. So, the equivalent license to the announced IDS 7.10 license, 5 CSs or AUs, is cheaper, even with the Parallel Performance Feature added, if you don't need the remaining Enterprise Edition Features most of which were not available in 7.10.

(Obviously Sequent is gone [IBM]) So has IDS gotten cheaper or more expensive as it has gotten better?
