Coinciding with the announcement of the IBM® zEnterprise® 196 (z196) server, IBM introduces a new software pricing structure called Advanced Workload License Charges (AWLC). The AWLC pricing metric leverages the reporting mechanisms and existing Millions of Service Units (MSU) per hour tiers of the Variable Workload License Charges (VWLC) pricing model while extending the software price/ performance provided by the VWLC tiers. AWLC applies only to eligible z/OS® and z/TPF software programs and their associated middleware programs when running on a z196 server. For details, refer to the Programs eligible for AWLC section. Benefits of AWLC include: • Reduced price points, versus VWLC, for all MSU levels with more than three MSUs • Additional unit cost improvements, versus VWLC, for eligible monthly license charge (MLC) IBM middleware programs with more than 875 MSUs • Sub-capacity or full-capacity implementation • Aggregation in an actively coupled Parallel Sysplex® For actively coupled Parallel Sysplexes with a mix of System z® hardware technologies (one or more z196 servers with one or more System z10® EC, System z9® EC, System z10 BC, or System z9 BC servers), a Transition Charges for Sysplexes program provides aggregated VWLC pricing along with a reduction in VWLC as customers upgrade machines to z196 servers. Aggregated AWLC pricing is not available for actively coupled Parallel Sysplexes until all of the servers in the sysplex are upgraded to z196 servers. VWLC is not available for a single, standalone z196 server, nor for an aggregated sysplex consisting only of z196 servers. The new AWLC pricing structure and the Transition Charges for Sysplexes program require an Attachment for IBM System z Advanced Workload License Charges (Z125-8538) to be added to the IBM Customer Agreement. Also new is the IBM System z Advanced Workload License Charges Exhibit (Z125-8539).
