- wiredfool 8y agoBut if the primary arm goes down, they’ll have your leg take over payments.
- chasil 8y agoOracle Standard Edition used to cost around $8k/core. Now Standard Edition 2 costs $17k/core, but I believe it includes a license to use Real Application Clusters (RAC), justifying the price hike. Not much justification if you're only running a single instance, though.
- grumpydba 8y agoThis is insanely expensive indeed. And limited to one socket per node.
- chasil 8y agoHere is the price list: https://www.oracle.com/assets/technology-price-list-070617.pdf https://www.oracle.com/assets/technology-price-list-070617.p... SE2 processor license is $17,500. Enterprise processor license is $47,500.
- thorin 8y agoInteresting, I don't think I've ever seen a comprehensive price list before and I've worked with Oracle for 20 years. Generally I've been somewhere with a site licence so you can use almost anything or used XE and bought standard one for production.
- glogla 8y agoBut SE2 (and formerly SE1) is 17500 per socket, while Enteprise is 47500 per core. There's also core scaling factor, which used to be 0.5 for Xeon. So single 8 core CPU is 17500 with SE2, but 40.547500.
