RE: Oracle costs??

Power unit pricing is gone. Pricing is now based on named users or processors, depending on how many named users you have. You must purchase a minimum of 10 named users per processor board. The break-even point is 50 users per processor. If you have more than 50 users per processor, it's cheaper to purchase the processor license (unlimited users).

We recently went through this excercise to purchase 9iRAC for two nodes with a single processor in each node. The minimum cost would be for 20 named users. The maximum would be for 2 processors (100+ named users).

Hope this helps.
