IBM RVU (license type)
Unlike a Custom Metric license, an IBM RVU license is also a points license, and has one set of points rules attached. Different rules from the set are applied to provide volume discounts for resource being measured.
For example, if the measured resource is Per Premium Income ($US Billions) , one rule may specify 100 points consumed for the first billion, while others scale down to a mere 10 points per billion once you are measuring more than $15 billion in income.
- 100 points/billion for the first half billion (50 points)
- 130 points/billion for the second half billion (65 points)
- 74 points/billion for the range 1-2 billion (74 points)
- 46 points/billion for the range 2-3 billion (0.2 x 46 = 9.2 points).
