Can Customer-Owned Licences Cut Your Hosting Costs?
Customers increasingly want to run their own licences in hosted environments. The Flexible Virtualization Benefit lets some customer-owned licences run on a provider's shared hardware. For a provider this can reduce SPLA cost on some workloads, but it does not apply everywhere, and it moves that revenue out of the billable base.
