If you have a single tenant environment (Dedicated physical server), you can provide the infrastructure under SPLA (Windows SPLA) and the customer can bring their own Microsoft Apps without the need to have SA. This only applies if the end user has purchased through volume licenses program and no other non-SPLA Microsoft licensing channels. Previously the only way you could mix SPLA with end user licenses was through License Mobility, now you don`t require SA if this is on a physically dedicated server. SA and License Mobility still required if you want to bring end user licenses to your shared hosted/multi-tenant environment.
Licensing options from the ground to the cloud…
Line of business applications sit at the heart of an organisations business processes. This means that businesses typically have a more measured approach when looking at options for replacement or upgrade.
There has been significant growth in cloud based application deployment, especially in areas such as CRM, small business accounting and specific business process areas such as HR and payroll. However as businesses get larger and their IT systems become more complex and integrated this increases the need for a careful review of options.
This means that business start at different places and move at different speeds with a hybrid approach being the logical solution. One consequence of this is that there are many licensing options to consider and optimising these will be essential for cost effective licensing.
Rhipe understand this and we have worked with Microsoft to establish ourselves as the only licensing aggregator who can provide the flexibility across licensing programs to meet the needs of the real world.
