Hi All,
I am now searching since weeks.
I found this website:
IBM Eligible Public Cloud BYOSL-Richtlinie: The first part in English says:
Under this policy, IBM authorizes you to provide your Eligible IBM Software on an Eligible Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provided by IBM or a third party in accordance with the terms below. For clarification: This does not include projects with providers in which these providers access the software and / or execute or manage your IT environment completely or partially under the control of their own employees, be it at your location or at their location (e.g. Strategic Outsourcing, Web Hosting, Managed Service Provider etc.) - these situations require separate agreements and are not covered by this policy.
How can I license products like Tivoli Storage Manager f.e. for a Managed Service? I want to offer Managed Service for other companies. They are all related to our company. Most of them are minority holdings. So, the hardware and licenses shall be licensed by our company. Its our datacenter and this is also managed by us. The other companies are allowed to access the IBM software on this datacenter for using it.
I have no clue what I must do.
I asked consultants.
I asked three times IBM.
I asked IBM partners.
No one is able to answer this question.
Anyone has an idea?
By the way - we are not an IBM customer. But it seems to move to another software solution.
Thanks in advance.
