Why You Should Strive to Get Hold of Platform Edition

As many of you probably know, SAP has changed quite a bit the way ASE product is licensed.  Those who do probably remember this image – released about a year ago by SAP.

Platform & Edge editions are quite a nice addition to ASE license basket.

However, a thing not so straightforward – although no less attractive – with Platform edition is that it comes with IQ & RS cores interchangeable with ASE cores.

A thing even less straightforward is that… RS comes with ASO and HVAR license included – and IQ comes with VLDB and ASO packed in!

Now, I do not know what you think, but I think this is awesome.  IMO this pretty much obsoletes requesting separate ASE/RS/IQ licenses (unless there is a specific feature not covered by PE – e.g. IMDB/ECDA &c).

I’m loving it.  Hope you too…

Cheers,
