What will this tool help me decide?
If Oracle is Right For You

TCOnow! for Oracle Database Deployment is a software tool to help you understand the costs associated with Oracle. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison for deploying Oracle on Unix, Windows or Linux. It will also tell you what the effect on Oracle costs would be if you went with a 32-bit Intel platform, compared to a 64-bit Intel environment, as well as the IT skills required to make Linux an attractive platform.

TCOnow! can shrink a typical multi-week project into a matter of hours. It can do this because the software is packed with data - over 25 MB of modeling and assumptions! If you are running Oracle (on NT4, Windows 2000, Mixed Windows, Solaris, UX, AIX, mixed UNIX, or Windows and UNIX), and you want to know if you should move to Linux on Intel (32 or 64-bit), Windows on Intel (32 or 64-bit), or any of the major Unix platforms, then this is the product for you.

Interview Process:		CIOview’s software will lead you through a question process to ask for your specifications. You can choose what you would like to compare, and select from several server consolidation strategies. You will also be able to obtain the pricing and performance on more than 500 different servers. Select from 17 industry groups (see the default data on employee salaries, benefits, depreciation method and schedule, cost of capital, etc).

Results:		Once you have completed the interview process, the software will combine your specifications with our industry data to generate a business report. TCOnow! will automatically configure your optimal servers, including partitioning and clustering when appropriate. It will also show you details, like how industry warranty and support terms affect your project costs. This business case will allow you to learn the true cost of Oracle databases.

A Step Further:		Once you have reviewed your analysis, you can go back in and change any of your decisions or the underlying assumptions. You can change availability requirements, a different server consolidation strategy, or decide to deploy a cluster. You could also implement a SAN to see how it would affect your deployment costs.

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.

With a tool this powerful, you can give everyone the information they want…and look great doing it.

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.
