Oracle Enterprise (RRP) is $47,500 per unit. Software updates are $10,500 per unit per year. An Intel core is 0.5 units. Running Oracle on single, 4 core CPU (or VM, because you can't partially license cores and you'd be lucky to find a 4 core server CPU) is $40,000 per year in licensing alone (amortised over 5 years)… for a single machine. Want an active/passive replication set… double that cost.
