A business is planning to migrate its proprietary database servers, which are currently housed within its data center, to a cloud-based infrastructure. The existing licenses for this software are neither hardware-bound nor restricted usage-wise. Which strategy should the enterprise employ to make the most cost-effective use of its current software assets?
Transition to a subscription-based model with the cloud provider for access to the latest software releases and avoid dealing with licenses altogether.
Employ the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) strategy to use pre-owned software licenses within the cloud infrastructure.
Engage in new licensing agreements directly through the cloud service provider to ensure compatibility with the virtual environment.
Implement a hybrid approach, utilizing cloud-inclusive licenses for part of the infrastructure while bringing existing licenses for other parts.
The Bring Your Own License (BYOL) strategy aligns best with the company's situation as it allows for the utilization of pre-owned, freely usable licenses in a cloud infrastructure. This method helps avoid unnecessary additional licensing fees, thus being a cost-effective solution. It also complies with software licensing terms, provided the licenses are eligible for cloud deployment.
