Hi, 

We are proposing SCAPM for monitoring the entire airport. Can anyone help me with the proposal as we have asked IBM sales for the pricing details, but unfortunately we did not have a reply yet.

We need to propose it in short time, thus if anyone can help us with the license details as the number of devices increased from what proposed previously.

Description                                                                                                                    Quantity           Costs

IBM Monitoring Managed Virtual Server License + SW Subscription & Support 12 Months     1150    

 IBM Application Performance Management Managed Virtual Server License + SW                 50

Subscription & Support 12 Months

IBM Monitoring Managed Virtual Server Annual SW Subscription & Support Renewal   1150

12 Months

IBM Application Performance Management Managed Virtual Server Annual SW       50

Subscription & Support Renewal 12

Tried checking for some information on the IBM website, but no help

You can follow the latest IBM Performance Monitoring licencing details here https://www.ibm.com/marketplace/cloud/application-performance-management/purchase/in/en-in#product-header-top .

Thanks Sachin.

But this does not gives how many devices can be supported with the licence. Previously, we received the costing of 850 devices and now the devices increased to 1150.

I am sure the pricing does not works as per this link as number of devices will impact the costs. Currently, I am unable to find actual quote for it.

If understand your question correctly you are interested in confirming the license metric. Version 8 - IBM Monitoring and APM are licensed by Managed Virtual Server (MVS). Therefore, you would count the total number of physical and virtual servers that will run agents, then license accordingly. This is a link to the 8.1.3 Announcement Letter. Please contact me if you need additional assistance.

The pricing files for business partners (need to be registered for access) are here: https://www-112.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/paoreseller/pricepub/Download.do?action=DISPLAY_FILES

Download the file for your country, and search for the exact text you've specified in column B, "part_description". Then you'll see the list commercial price in column X. You really should be working with your distributor (Arrow, Immix, etc.) to get an official quote to your customer, with discounts.

Good luck.
