License Compliance

Organizations struggle to understand if they are in compliance with the licensing requirements of their database applications. Complex database applications, like Oracle, include a host of pay-for advanced functionality (e.g. RAC, ASO, spatial, partitioning) that may be in use but may not be necessarily licensed. Database administrators often have little visibility into what options are actually paid for arbitrarily using whatever features are available by the underlying database application.

BMC BladeLogic Database Automation (BBDA) provides real time visibility into what options and associated licenses are being used across your entire database infrastructure, no data entry required. BBDA compares this information with departmental level quotas to quickly identify areas where your organization is out of compliance. A suite of dashboards makes it simple to quickly identify compliance levels enabling rapid remediation if required.

BBDA License Compliance Functionality:

• Automatic real-time detection of which options/features are active at an individual database level

• Ability to assign departmental license quotas by database feature and compare these quotas to actual use

• Summary dashboards which provide instant visibility into your organization's license compliance
