Oracle license resellers are able to "buy" Oracle licenses at a certain discount from Oracle then "resell" those licenses to customers.  I believe that the system is tiered and that the tier level is earned by volume of sales.  So, the more licenses a reseller sells, the higher their discount on the buy side, and the more flexibility they can offer on the sell side.  At least, I think it works that way... :-)

At any rate, it is not unusual for even entry-level resellers to be able to buy licenses at something like 39% discount, which allows them to turn around and sell those licenses at 15-20%.  The game theory is that you don't know what their discount is, so you don't know the maximum discount they can (or will) offer to you.

So, if you know any Oracle resellers, ask them.  If not, go to solutions.oracle.com and look around...

Dear list,

I am just wondering if you can get a better price from oracle sales than oracle online shop ?

39K per core for enterprise edition with almost 10K partition per core  is so expensive !!! plus first year support fee and tax, 
we are not ready to afford it :(

Any idea "normal price" for your CPU per core for enterprise edition ? is that possible to low it down to 10-15K per core ?


Thanks a lot.
