Standard or Shared Services licensing edition
Knowing the inclusions in your license edition helps you understand whether you are entitled to receiving Oracle Standard edition software bundled with IT Analytics or whether you need to provide your own Oracle license.
Standard edition licensing includes a single instance of Oracle Standard Edition embedded within the IT Analytics software. With Standard edition, Oracle must be installed on the IT Analytics Portal server. Standard Edition is the most common licensing option.
A Shared Services license edition means you must provide your own Oracle license. You can subscribe to this edition if you already have an Oracle license which you can use to store the IT Analytics data.
Partitioning edition enables the underlying database to split large tables into partitions to improve the database performance and scalability. IT Analytics leverages the Oracle enterprise edition database with the Oracle Partitioning option.
Note:
With Standard or Shared Services, you can also purchase a Disaster Recovery (DR) License, which is required if you deploy two or more copies on a second or subsequent Portal server for the purpose of disaster recovery, availability, or fail-over from production.
