What will this tool help me decide?
If Your Web Applications Belong on Industry Standard Platforms

TCOnow! for BEA Application Deployment will help you decide whether your Web applications can be run more cost effectively on industry standard Intel platforms or custom Unix servers. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison for running BEA WebLogic middleware on RISC Unix, Intel Xeon, or Intel ItaniumII servers. You can compare hardware supporting simple BEA WebLogic JRockit JVM (Java virtual machine) or even a three-tier BEA WebLogic Server application inclusive of Web serving, Java processing, and database transactions.

TCOnow! reduces the complexity and confusion involved in choosing the best processor and server architecture for your Web applications. This accelerated analysis is made possible because the software is packed with capacity planning data on many applications, including: online shopping, online banking, online brokerage, online trading, online auction, inventory management, reservation systems, and self-service Web portal. If you are trying to decide if your web applications belong on industry standard platforms, then this is the product for you!

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

Interview Process:		The software will lead you through an interview process to ask for your specifications. Select from a variety of server consolidation strategies. You will also be able to obtain the performance and pricing on several hundred server options. Then choose from 1 of 17 industry groups (default costs are included for employee salaries, benefits, depreciation method and schedule, cost of capital, etc). Choose the size of your system for your current or future needs.

Results:		The software will configure a BEA deployment, and simplify capacity planning. You will be able to see the true cost of BEA and your optimal Intel processor: Pentium4, Xeon DP, Xeon MP, or Itanium.

A Step Further:		Once you have reviewed your analysis, you may go back into your project to change any of your assumptions. See how costs change as you implement a SAN, or the performance implication of cryptography cards on SSL transactions. You can also see how various warranty and support terms affect your project costs, or the impact of optimizing your application for hyperthreading.
