I remember back in the day we were deploying a production video streaming server at a customer site, and a team from IBM deployed their analytics suite alongside us. We had over 8Gbps coming out of a single 1U server. The IBM installed a separate server for every Java process that their application needed, which was something like 8. It was ridiculous.
- lonelappde 6y agoIBM charged the customer for each server.
- mikereedell 6y agoor, as with my experience in licensing IBM stuff, the charged per CPU.
- jmspring 6y agoI believe Oracle, IBM, and some others still charge per core/cpu for various products. It's a nice business model to be in if you have locked in customers.
- xenospn 6y agoHell yeah they did. The analytics software cost more than the actual solution.
