Software License Optimization

Maximizing the Return on Software License Investments

Measuring and reporting about how your limited and costly HPC resources are being used is a key part of forward-looking planning. The demands placed on HPC resource management have grown beyond basic job reporting. Today, HPC administrators and managers demand comprehensive resource measurement and reporting for all computing resources, including software licenses.

Understanding what software is actually being used, how much is being used and by whom, is crucial for managing software licenses effectively.

Managing software assets can be difficult for a number of reasons – from increasing license complexity and quickly changing pricing models to inadequate software tools.
