  • 1.  differences between Guardium licenses

    Posted Thu November 26, 2020 07:46 AM
    Hello.
    What is the difference between Guardium DAM Standard/Advanced and Data Protection license?
    The only thing I found is Data Protection -  Advanced functionality with different pricing metric.
    Where to find more detailed explanation on the differences?
    Where to find detailed explanation on different types of licenses?
    The only thing I found is this one:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/what-licenses-do-i-need-set-guardium-v101x-and-newer-appliances
    but it's not detailed enough.

    Hi Igor,
    DAM standard / advanced is older type of licenses. DAM advanced (compared to standard) includes functionality such as masking and blocking, and licensing metric was PVU of monitored databased server. Also you need to add "Central Management and Aggregation Pack" if you have aggregators / CMs in your environment.

    Currently Guardium is sold as "Guardium data protection for Databases / Data Warehouses / Big Data" and includes all the functionality.

    If the licenses were purchased during last 3-4 years, probably you have Guardium Data Protection.

    The best way to find out is to check your Passport Advantage account.
