What will this tool help me decide?
Which Database Vendor Deserves Your Business

TCOnow! for 32 and 64-bit Databases is a software tool that will help you decide which combination of database vendor and hardware platform is right for your organization. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison for deploying a new database or consolidating an existing database(s) on SQL Server, DB2 UDB, Oracle, MySQL, or even Teradata. You can compare these databases on a variety of hardware options including servers running Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Windows, or Teradata Unix.

TCOnow! shrinks a typical multi-week database sizing project into a matter of hours. This accelerated analysis is made possible because the software is packed with data on workload, performance, cost, and downtime. If you need to cost and configure a new database, then this is the product for you!

Click any option, in the product matrix below, to see what you can compare.

Interview Process:		CIOview's software will lead you through an interview process to ask for your specifications. You can choose to deploy a new database or consolidate an existing one. You will then be asked for specifications on the number of users, applications, and other related information.

Results:		Once you have completed the interview process, the software will combine your responses with our industry knowledge to generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) financial and technical business report.

A Step Further:		Once you have reviewed your analysis, you will be able to see how individual costs affect your project costs. You will then be able to go back into your project to change specifications and see how a change will affect your total cost of ownership.

Customized Business Report

CIOview's software creates a complete business case, detailing the costs of possible solutions. For the financial people, it includes cost factor breakdown. For the technical people, it includes a complete break-down of deployment.

Purchasing Research - Done!

Conducting the research necessary to make a purchasing decision can be very time consuming. The process of reading through reviews, listening to the experience of colleagues, and trying to sift through the marketing materials can make it difficult to reach a clear decision. CIOview's software takes all of the pertinent industry information into account and applies it to your specific situation – giving you the most accurate analysis possible.

	Extensive What if Analysis After you have reviewed your cost comparison, the software allows you to drill-down and change any of the underlying assumptions. The software is intelligent enough to allow you to change everything from the server model selected, to the cost of the power for the servers. This means you can continue to modify your report until you reach the completed solution you desire.
