Oracles slashes price of its 10g DBMS

Posted on 5 Feb 2004 at 11:46

Oracle has cut the price of its 10g database system down to $4,995. The move is an attempt to become more competitive with Microsoft at the smaller business end of the database market.

The database giant has cut the headline pricing by $1,000, a reduction of 17 per cent which now makes it directly comparable with Microsoft's SQL Server 2000.

'Today's announcement underscores Oracle's commitment to providing smaller organizations and our partner community with a world-class database at affordable prices,' said Jacqueline Woods, Oracle VP of Global Practices, Global Pricing and Licensing Strategy. 'Making our entry-level pricing the same as Microsoft's shows that we're serious about competing head on with SQL Server.'

The Standard Edition One is also available on a named user licensing basis at $149 per user, for a minimum of five users. Clustering support will also be made freely available for users of the 10g Standard Edition (up to a maximum of 4-processors in a cluster).

Full details on the pricing, for both per Processor and per Named User Plus licensing, can be found at www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing
