Re: Oracle Internet File System

It's part of the OCS now, I believe. OCS is apparently only available with Named User Plus licenses, which amount to 60 dollars per NUP.

About the options you mention: Every option is only available to you if you have bought an EE license of Oracle: RAC, Spatial, Partitioning, Data Mining, OLAP, Advanced Security, Label Security, Diagnostics Pack, Tuning Pack, Change Management Pack... And here's the amounts you should add for each of these on top of the $40K per cpu license: $20K, $10K, $10K, $20K, $20K, $10K, $10K, $3K, $3K, $3K...

At the moment Microsoft's SE costs 32% or so of Oracle's SE. Their EE costs about 46% of Oracle's EE. Yes, we all know there are differences. But the finance department might not care. I think a better strategy would be to price EE as SE, then let the price of the options vary so that if you bought a bunch of them you'd end up around the current EE price.
