GSE UK Conference 2008

"Be Recognized"

Abstract:

The z800/z890/z9BC processors offer the most flexible pricing options in the System z product line. IBM offers several "standalone" pricing options, unique to these processors, that offer very attractive entry level pricing and flexibility. This session will focus on these standalone pricing options.

Topics include:

• Entry Workload License Charge (EWLC)
• zSeries Entry License Charge (zELC)
• Tiered Entry Workload License Charge (TWLC)
• zNALC (replacing z/OS.e & Divide-a-Box)

In addition, these processors can take advantage of and fully participate in all of the z9EC/z10/Sysplex metrics. Information on z800/z890/z9BC participation in Syplex SW pricing metrics, e.g., PSLC & Workload License Charge, will be included in the z9EC/z10/Sysplex SW Pricing session.

Kay has been with IBM for 30+ years, during which she has held a variety of technical, marketing, staff and management positions. She has the distinction of having worked with every hardware product line announced since she joined the company in 1976 as a Systems Engineer in GSD, from the very small (5110 & s/32) to the very large (Series z9). Her assignments have included Distributed and Large System Sales, Customer Center Manager, HQ Competitive Marketing Staff, IBM Marketing Training Instructor, and Software Development Manager. In her current position, working for Ray Jones, her main focus is helping Customers and IBMers understand zSeries software pricing/licensing options. She spends much of her time "on the road" presenting at Customer Briefings, IBM Conferences and User Groups like SHARE and GSE. Most of the time she is also the infamous SCRT@us.ibm.com. When not traveling, Kay resides in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, her hometown, with her husband of 30+ years and a couple of very spoiled cats.
