RE: COMMON Update - misc - Database - Oracle

Go price i5/OS for 1 CPU and then price AIX for that same CPU.  It's
close to a $50K difference.  IBM can equalize the hardware price but
continues to charge a premium for i5/OS.

Partially balancing that out is the stuff i5/OS has that Unix doesn't
(integrated backup/recovery capabilities, database, disk management, job
scheduler, etc.).  Add those things to the typical Unix install and the
price gets much closer to even (and the admin overhead grows).  Once
comparably equipped, i5/OS is actually priced similar to the
competition.
