  1. SQL Server 2012SPLA Licensing Update Microsoft Corporation V1.0 Nov 2011 • The information in this presentation is Microsoft Confidential and subject to a Non-Disclosure Agreement • This presentation contains preliminary information that may be changed substantially prior to the final release of SQL Server 2012 1

  2. Agenda SQL Server 2012 SPLA Licensing Summary Transition Path for SPLA Partners KeyScenarios for SPLA • Physically Dedicated Hosting • Virtualization Licensing (Dedicated/Shared Hosting) Calls to Action 2

  3. SQL Server 2012 SPLA Licensing Summary 3

  4. Next wave of SQL Server “Cloud-ready Information Platform” Enable business critical performance and availability at low TCO Required 9s & protection with AlwaysOn 10x query performance with new Column Store Index • Business CRITICAL CONFIDENCE Unlock new insights with pervasive data discovery across the organization Rapid data exploration and discovery via self-service analytics Credible, consistent data via BI Semantic Model & Data Quality Services • BREAKTHROUGH INSIGHT Create business solutions fast, on your terms across server and private or public cloud Scale on demand from datacenter to cloud Build composable, hybrid apps with modern unified developer tools • CLOUD • ON YOUR TERMS 4 Microsoft Confidential

  5. SQL Server 2012 Summary for SPLA Replace Processor License with Core License Retire Datacenter and Workgroup Editions Retire SQL Server Enterprise SAL NEW! Introduce SQL Server Business Intelligence SAL Microsoft Confidential 5

  6. SQL Server 2012 Product Lineup for SPLA Aligned with how you consume DB and business intelligence software Product Lineup Licensing Options SAL-based Core-based Enterprise High-end datacenter w/ BI Server capabilities Pay for the poweryou need NEW! BI Server Enterprise BI projects, user-based licensing Pay for the usersyou need Choice of model for basic needs Pay for the poweryou need Standard Departmental, limited scale Web* * Web is only available through SPLA Microsoft Confidential 6

  7. SQL Server 2012 SPLA Benefits Pay for the Power You Need: • Customers and partners pay for computing power • For datacenter scenarios, licensing better aligned to hardware capacity Edition Simplification: • Edition reduction simplifies SQL SKU lineup for Service Providers and customers • Increased consistency with VL offerings • For Business Intelligence Edition, licensing aligned to user-based access Unlimited Virtualization: • Service Providers now have unlimited virtualization rights on SQL Server Enterprise Edition • Significant price savings from SQL Server Datacenter Edition Additional Transition Time: • Service Providers will be given additional time for transition to SQL Server 2012 • SQL Server 2008R2 will remain on Price List until Jan 2013 Microsoft Confidential 7

  9. Transition for SAL License Logical transition path to SQL Server 2012 BI SAL EE SAL SE SAL SE SAL WG SAL Microsoft Confidential 9

  10. What is available and when? Spring 2012  Jan 2013 At general availability both SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 will be available on the SPUR and Price List and will remain available until January 2013 Processor/SAL Core/SAL Price List on Jan 2013 SQL Server 2008R2 will remain on Price List until Jan 2013 allowing Service Providers additional time to transition Core/SAL Microsoft Confidential 10

  11. Key Scenarios for SPLA Scenario 1: Physically Dedicated Hosting Scenario 2: Virtualization Licensing (Dedicated/Shared Hosting) 11

  12. License Hardware Capacity by Cores Pay for the power you need Cores a precise and flexible measure of capacity for hybrid environments Physical Server Licensing Virtual Machine Licensing • License all physical cores on hardware • Minimum of 4 cores per Processor • Unlimited Virtualization with Enterprise Edition • License virtual cores • Minimum of 4 virtual cores per VM Pay only for what you use • OR Microsoft Confidential 12

  13. License by CoresHow to purchase SQL Server 2012 Core Licenses Processor based -> Core based licensing  1 processor Old licensing: count processor  4 cores New licensing: count cores • Mechanics • Count the number of Cores in the server • A minimum of 4 core licenses are required per physical processor • Purchase the appropriate number of core licenses for the server • Licenses are sold in packs-each pack includes 2 core licenses (2-core pack) • Pricing • Cores will be priced at ¼ the cost of a SQL 2008 R2 Processor • No price increase from SQL Server 2008 R2 for processors with 1-4 cores • License more cores as compute capacity increases Microsoft Confidential 13

  14. License Requirements: Sold in 2-Core Packs (4 Core minimum) Physical Servers Virtual Machines Units purchased Licenses required H/W (1 CPU 4 cores) VM (4 vcores) 4 physical cores or 4 virtual cores or 1 2 2 x 2-core pack 1 2 3 4 3 4 H/W (1 CPU 2 cores) VM (2 vcores) Must report Minimum of 4 cores or 2 x 2-core pack 4 physical cores or 4 virtual cores 1 1 2 2 H/W (1 CPU 6 cores) VM (6 vcores) 1 2 6 physical cores or 6 virtual cores or 1 2 3 x 2-core pack 3 4 3 4 5 6 5 6 Microsoft Confidential 14

  15. Scenario 1: Physically Dedicated Hosting ! Minimum of 4 core licenses required for each processor 1 processor with 4 cores4 core licenses required 1 processor with 2 cores4 core licenses required ! 1 processor with 8 cores8core licenses required 1 processor with 6 cores6 core licenses required Microsoft Confidential 15

  16. Scenario 1: Physically Dedicated Hosting Example  1 processor with 4 cores “New” Core based model = 4 core licenses Processor based model = 1 processor license Sold in 2-core pack (2 packs are minimum) Example: Processor license = $920.21* Example: 1 x 2-core pack = 460.10* 1 processor $920.21* 1 x 2-core pack $460.10* 1 x 2-core pack $460.10* Enterprise and Standard processorbudgets remain flat with 1-4 cores * SPLA Enterprise Edition Pricing. Prices are for example only. SPLA Resellers set SPLA prices. Microsoft Confidential 16

  17. Scenario 2: Virtualization Licensing (Dedicated/Shared Hosting) License Virtual Environments with Cores • Unlimited Virtualization – Highly Virtualized, Private Cloud Scenarios • Available for Enterprise Edition • Must License all Cores on the physical hardware • A • OR • Individual Virtual Machines – Dynamic and Mobile Scenarios • B License virtual cores • VM 1 • SQL Server 2012 • Windows Server 2008 R2 • VM 2 • Windows Server 2008 R2 • VM 3 • SQL Server 2012 • Windows Server 2008 R2 *Minimum of 4 core licenses required per Virtual Machine Microsoft Confidential 17

  18. Scenario 2-A: Unlimited Virtualization Virtualization Licensing Example – Unlimited VMs • Offered through Enterprise Edition only • License ALL cores on physical hardware • Run unlimited virtual machines on hardware Unlimited VMs Unlimited VMs Unlimited VMs 2 proc. / 4 cores 1 proc. / 2 cores* 2 proc. / 2 cores* Server: Core licenses required: 1 x 4 core licenses* = 4 core licenses 2 x 4 core licenses* = 8 core licenses 2 x 4 core licenses = 8 core licenses • (*) 1-4 cores: Minimum of 4 core licenses required per physical processor Microsoft Confidential 18

  19. Scenario 2-B: License Individual Virtual Machines • Offered through all editions • Licensing counted via virtual machines • 1. Determine number of virtual cores per virtual machine • 2. Virtual machinemirror physical core pricing structure ! Minimum of 4 core licenses required for each virtual machine VM with 4 virtual cores4 core licenses required VM with 2 virtual cores4 core licenses required ! VM VM VM with 8 virtual cores8core licenses required VM with 6 virtual cores6 core licenses required VM VM Microsoft Confidential 19

  20. Virtualization Licensing Example – License per VM License only the cores utilized by each VM Server: 2 processor 16 physical cores Core licenses required # of cores used per VM VM 1 1 core 1 x 4 core licenses* = 4 VM1: 1 core = 4 core licenses VM 1 1 core VM1: 1 core 1 x 4 core licenses* = 4 VM 2 2 core VM2: 2 cores 1 x 4 core licenses* = 4 VM 3 4 core VM3: 4 cores 1 x 4 core licenses = 4 = 12 core licenses VM 1 1 core VM1: 1 cores 1 x 4 core licenses* = 4 VM 2 2 core VM2: 2 cores 1 x 4 core licenses* = 4 VM3: 4 cores VM 3 4 core 1 x 4 core licenses = 4 VM4: 6 cores VM 4 6 core 1 x 6 core licenses = 6 = 18 core licenses • (*) 1-4 cores: Minimum of 4 core licenses required per virtual machine Microsoft Confidential 20
