95.0. "Oracle/Vms vs Oracle?Ultrix" by PRSUD2::MAYER () Fri Mar 18 1988 10:31

               <  Oracle/Vms  versus   Oracle/Ultrix  > 
    
    
    I  am looking  for infos on how Oracle with Vms is performing
    versus Oracle with Ultrix.
    
    I am working in the European competitive analysis team and we
    have more and more frequently to compete against HP9000/840
    using HP-UX and Oracle.
    If anybody has infos like in some situation Oracle is pushing
    more HP than Digital,I would be very interested too.
    
    Thank's.

    I would also like to know about Oracle/VMS and Oracle/Unix as I
    am competing against HP.

    Me, too.
    
    I've just got an Invitation to tender (by 15th April, 1988) for
    a system with 80 SIMULTANEOUS ORACLE-users and 1 GB disk-space.
    Competition is HP and IBM (with Oracle).
    
    Any experience on :
    - how to WIN
    - HP tactics
    - performance comparisons
    - is benchmarking good idea ?

    Are we competing voluntarily or are customers requiring the ORACLE
    product?
    In other words, are we defaulting to ORACLE in competitive Unix
    situations or is an ORACLE solution being demanded of us?
    Inquiring minds want to know.

95.4- Oracle is a MUST-spec -HSKSA1::PAAKKARINENOur dedicated Sales Force...Sat Apr 16 1988 22:1317
    Michael,
    
    	In my case the customer has MUSTs like "Ethernet" and "ORACLE-
    	environment". Perhaps some ideas on "vendor-independence..."
    	and PC-version/-integration lies behind this Oracle-spec.
    
    	I would certainly sell rdb, but in this case it would damage
    	our chances severily. So, let's live in the real world.
    
    Best regards,
    
    	Jari
    
    PS
    	I've enjoyed very much about your noting - it's honest. Please
    	go on noting !
