They give access to the Azure Hybrid Benefit which means that customers may install the products on-premises or use them to license the products within an Azure virtual machine.

You should consider them to be best friends with the new Reserved Instances since they now offer the most cost-effective way to license predictable Windows and SQL Server workloads in Azure.

Theres a whole host of resources on both Server Subscriptions and Reserved Instances here ( ) where youll find a sales sheet, an Operations Guide, overview presentations, and an FAQ.

Microsoft also revealed that CSPs will be able to sell Windows Server and SQL Server subscriptions.

This is combined with a partner-friendly business model that minimizes risk while maximizing profitability, Gavriella Schuster, Microsofts channel chief, wrote in a blog post.

Windows Server customers with Software Assurance could save up to 80 percent versus pay-as-you-go pricing through Azure Hybrid Benefit, a program that lets customers use their on-premises Windows Server licenses and run Windows virtual machines on Azure at a reduced cost.

This translates to less time that partners have to spend on managing and pricing Azure RIs and server subscriptions for their customers, Schuster said.

I hav been looking to setup SPLA with Ingram and then I found out about CSP.

I am interested in getting pricing for Windows Standard 2016 Server and CAL licenses.

I was quoted 1-year - 300 per licence for 8 cores 3-year - 590 per licence for 8 cores For CAL i was quoted 1 year - 144 per CAL 3 year - 408 Per Call This seems high to me.

Part of the issues i that most of the CSP sales guys dont even know that you can get Windows Server 2016 through CSP now.

I think 144 per year for 1 CAL windows CAL is high 10 comments share save hide report 100 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best.

SPLA does not require user cals (you do need RDS cals if you are doing remote desktop).

CSP just added Windows Server SQL Server licenes which are all up front costs.

It just got added about 3 months ago and not a lot of people know about it.

MY sales guy at the CSP didnt know about it either and he spoke to his architect team and they confirmed the pricing.

Since he didnt know either.
