Description

Containers Bring New Challenges for Cost Optimization

This IDC Market Note focuses on a recent press release from CAST AI on April 25 and IDC's interview with customers that recently deployed CAST AI in their production environment.It is difficult for even the most mature IT organization to successfully manage the complex task of optimizing hundreds of container-based parameters while simultaneously controlling cloud costs. IDC estimates that companies waste up to 30% of their cloud spending, and as containers grow in popularity, this is likely to increase further. Spot instances offer tremendous cost savings but are a risk for production applications, which many companies wish to avoid. Combining AI and automation makes this risk mitigation possible, and continual optimization with spot instances can bring tremendous savings to an enterprise.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
