Mungkin ini sangat dasar sekali dan tidak terlalu teknis, namun banyak sekali yang menanyakan mengenai hal ini (terutama mengenai Exchange 2007), jadi saya coba rangkum hal ini disini.
Exchange 2007 mempunyai 2 edisi yaitu Standard Edition dan Enterprise Edition, perbedaan yang paling mendasar adalah :
Sedangkan untuk CALnya, dibagi menjadi 2, yaitu Standard CAL sebagai basic feature dan Enterprise CAL sebagai additive CAL (fiturnya lebih lengkap). Detilnya bisa dilihat di bawah ini :
Office Communications Server 2007 sendiri juga mempunyai 2 edisi yaitu Standard Edition dan Enterprise Edition. Perbedaannya adalah : (diambil dari office.microsoft.com)
Office Communications Server 2007 Standard Edition
Standard Edition requires that primary server components, as well as the database for storing user and conference information, be configured on a single computer. Standard Edition is recommended for organizations that do not require higher availability through clustering.
Office Communications Server 2007 Enterprise Edition
Enterprise Edition enables separation of server functionality and data storage to achieve higher capacity and availability. Enterprise Edition is recommended for organizations that that require higher availability through clustering.
Untuk CAL nya juga menggunakan sistem Standard CAL dan Enterprise CAL sebagai Additive CAL. Detilnya :
Nah, di OCS 2007, ada 1 lagi yang mencakup masalah licenses yaitu External Connector Licenses. Detilnya saya ambil dari office.microsoft.com :
Office Communications Server 2007 is offered in two Client Access license (CAL) editions: Standard CAL and Enterprise CAL.
- Office Communications Server Standard External Connector
Provides the rights associated with the Office Communications Server Standard CAL for external users. With an Office Communications Server Standard External Connector license you can extend Office Communications Server Standard CAL functionality to external users.
- Office Communications Server Enterprise External Connector
An additive license and requires that a Standard External Connector is also purchased for each server that is accessed by external users. With an Office Communications Server Enterprise External Connector license, you can extend Office Communications Server Enterprise CAL functionality to external users.
The Office Communications Server External Connector license grants access to the Office Communications Server by an unlimited number of external users.
Semoga berguna. :)
