Q: What is the max POC capacity for Databases in Atos DB Hotel ?
A: Maximum POC Infrastructure capacity
- Maxinunn POC Capacity is aligned with the available GCP-BMS Servers.
Remark: Production capacity can be any mix of the GCP Bare Metal servers to cater for your capacity
Q: How are the software and DB Licenses arranged in the POC ?
- Basic set-up is Bring-your-own-Licenses: POC participant will bring the required licenses for the Oracle Databases and other Software under test, that are not supported by the Atos DB Hotel or GCP
Remark: Atos DB Hotel includes the following already licensed software:
- OracleVM, Oracle Linux, Atos Management Tooling
Q: What is the Set-up of the Applications and other software running on GCP? Planning and costing in the POC.
- POC Participants will move the Application part to the agreed GCP region (see Atos DB Hotel Location specifications) this activity can be included in the POC set-up planning
- POC participants will carry the GCP costs related to the Application Set-up and running during the POC duration (unless agreed otherwise)
- Participants may use the Atos fully Managed GCP set-up (AGEA Framework)
Q: what are the Financials / charges associated with the Atos DB Hotel POC?
Charges are based on the POC Planning and necessary activities
Remark: POC Charges can be agreed to be netted with final charges for a production set-up (Try and Buy)
