How our Oracle License Review works
Only Oracle can pronounce the result of an audit, but GHITSOL’s Oracle License Review of your estate mirrors the specific doctrines of Oracle’s audit process. This means we can deliver highly in-depth reporting of your overall database estate.
The aims of our Oracle License Review are to discover, gather, and review Oracle software licensing information and compare this against your hardware configuration, supported CSI (customer support identifier) numbers, and Oracle Org Reports.
Our team looks specifically for known procured licences covering the following;
- Number of users/multiplex users
- Named User Plus (NUPs) and processor licence metrics
- Hardware processor and core count
- Full Use or ASFU licences
- Highwatermark exceptions
- Database options installed (i.e. Advanced Data Guard)
Our bespoke Oracle License Review maps this information against supported or purchased licences and collates usage of Oracle Programs, allowing us to highlight any areas of concern or potential risk to your organisation.
The results of these reports serve as informative guidance in the event that Oracle performs a license audit.
There are also many cases where organisations are actually over-licensed. Our database experts can identify opportunities for license optimisation and cost reductions, which can result in some very significant savings.
