Notes:

• If you are installing the services and engine on separate machines, each machinemust have the same operating system.

• InfoSphere Metadata Server consists of the repository tier and services tier.

Recommended hardware

• Processor: 2.5 GHz (minimum required); faster processors are recommended.

• Memory: 6 GB of RAM (minimum required); 8+ GB of RAM recommended.

When you install IBM InfoSphere Information Server, 50 MB of temporary files areadded and removed after the installation process is complete.

The IBM InfoSphere Information Server architecture consists of multiple tiers.Depending on the product required by the user, different tiers will be installed. Thesetiers include:

• Metadata repository tier: The metadata repository and, if installed, the IBMInfoSphere Information Analyzer analysis database and the computer wherethese components are installed. The metadata repository database contains theshared metadata, data, and configuration information for InfoSphere InformationServer product modules. The analysis database stores extended analysis data forInfoSphere Information Analyzer.

• Services tier: The application server, common services, and product servicesfor the suite and product modules and the computer where those componentsare installed. The services tier provides both common services (such as metadataand logging) and services that are specific to certain product modules. Within the

IBM United States Software Announcement 210-177 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 13

tier, IBM WebSphere Application Server hosts the services. The services tier alsohosts InfoSphere Information Server applications that are web-based.

• Engine tier: The logical group of engine components (the InfoSphereInformation Server engine components, service agents, and so on) and thecomputer where those components are installed. The engine runs jobs and othertasks for product modules that require the engine.

• DB2 Restricted Enterprise Edition 9 is included with IBM InfoSphere InformationServer and is an optional part of the installation that requires an additional390 MB of disk space. If DB2 Restricted Enterprise Edition 9 is optionallyinstalled, it is only licensed for use with IBM InfoSphere Information Server.Information Server V8.5 offers significantly increased data protection, scalability,and performance for its database operations based on IBM DB2 technology,which is designed to manage data more effectively and efficiently. Greateravailability is delivered through enhancements such as online, automateddatabase reorganization. In addition, the increased scalability and the ability toleverage the latest in server technology helps deliver increased performance ofbackup and recovery processes.

• IBM InfoSphere Information Server does not support the Database PartitioningFeature of IBM DB2 ESE 9 for use in the Repository tier.

• The database needs to have 700 MB of initial free space. With added projects andcontinued usage, additional disk space will be required.

Services tier

IBM InfoSphere Information Server requires WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.7and 6.1.0.27, or higher. WebSphere Application Server is included as a part ofIBM InfoSphere Information Server and is an optional part of the installation thatrequires an additional 1 GB of disk space. If WebSphere Application Server isoptionally installed, it is only licensed for use with IBM InfoSphere InformationServer.

Disk space for the Services tier: 4 GB

Engine tier

InfoSphere DataStage and InfoSphere QualityStage requirements

Disk space: 600 MB

Charge metrics definitions

Authorized User

Authorized User is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. AnAuthorized User is an individual (named or unnamed) within or outside of yourenterprise. The program may be installed on one or more computers or serversand accessed by the number of users authorized by the Proof of Entitlement (PoE).You must have an entitlement for each Authorized User accessing the program orany program component in any manner directly or indirectly (for example, via amultiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means.

Concurrent User

Concurrent User is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. AConcurrent User is a shared user access to the program within or outside of yourenterprise. The program may be installed only on one computer or one server. Thetotal number of Concurrent Users simultaneously accessing the program at anymoment in time may not exceed the highest number of Concurrent Users authorizedby the Proof of Entitlement (PoE). You must have an entitlement for each ConcurrentUser simultaneously accessing the program or any program component in anymanner directly or indirectly (for example, via a multiplexing program, device, orapplication server) through any means.

Install

Install is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. An Install is aninstalled copy of the program on a physical or virtual disk made available to be

IBM United States Software Announcement 210-177 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 23

executed on a computer. Licensee must obtain an entitlement for each Install of theprogram.

Processor Value Unit

Processor Value Unit (PVU) is a unit of measure by which the program can belicensed. The number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processortechnology (defined within the PVU Table by Processor Value, Brand, Type, andModel Number at the following website and the number of processors madeavailable to the program.

http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/pvu_licensing_for_customers.html

IBM continues to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to beeach processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for example, has twoprocessor cores.

Licensee can deploy the program using either Full Capacity licensing or VirtualizationCapacity (Sub-Capacity) licensing according to the Passport Advantage Sub-CapacityLicensing Terms (see web page below). If using Full Capacity licensing, Licenseemust obtain PVU entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores1 inthe physical hardware environment made available to or managed by the program,except for those servers from which the program has been permanently removed. Ifusing Virtualization Capacity licensing, Licensee must obtain entitlements sufficientto cover all activated processor cores made available to or managed by the program,as defined according to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at

http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/Counting_Software_licenses_using_specific_virtualization_technologies.html

1

An Activated processor core is a processor core that is available for use in a physical orvirtual server, regardless of whether the capacity of the processor core can be or is limitedthrough virtualization technologies, operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similarrestrictions.

Resource Value Unit (RVU)

RVU is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. RVU entitlements arebased on the quantity of a specific designated measurement for the given program.A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for the appropriate number of RVUsrequired for your environment as defined by the specific program terms. The RVUentitlements are specific to the program and may include, but are not limited tothe following: client devices, data source records, messages, and servers, and maynot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with RVU entitlements of anotherprogram. To understand these benefits of RVU licensing, and to determine howmany RVUs to obtain for the program, contact your IBM representative.
