On the other hand 2 quad core dual processor HP servers currently are quoted at around $15k. (assuming 8g memory each). The SE license for that is an eye watering $65k, but the EE license for the same system would be an altogether ludicrous $468k. In fact you get the 2 dual processor quad core solution using RAC and SE for the same list price as a *single* processor license for EE with RAC. Methinks that recent hardware improvements and SE licensing changes make a pretty compelling case for SE nowadays. Unless of course you happen to have one of those license deals (site licenses for example) that Oracle 'don't do'. On 6/19/07, Jason Heinrich <jheinrich@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
Correct, though SE's limitations (only 4 CPUs) restrict its usefulness somewhat. Dual-core processors help. On 6/19/07 8:20 AM, Richard J.
