The document compares the costs of using Oracle database servers versus Sun Niagara T2000 servers over a three year period. It finds that replacing 18 Oracle licenses with 4 T2000 servers would save $431,000 in software, environmental, and infrastructure costs, with a net savings of $299,000. A full replacement of all Acme Oracle database servers with T2000 servers could save over $190 million in costs and reduce Oracle licenses from 10,470 to 2,498, providing a net savings of $100 million.
