Analyst: Oracle Saves 43% in Database Management Cost Over IBM

A recent study conducted by the Edison Group titled "Comparative Management Costs Study—Oracle Database 11g vs. IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5" quantifies how Oracle widens the manageability lead against IBM:

  • Organizations can save 43% annually in database management costs using Oracle Database over IBM DB2.
  • DBAs can perform typical administrative functions 40% faster using Oracle Database 11g compared with IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.
  • Oracle Database 11g requires 49% fewer steps for the same set of standard RDBMS tasks than IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.
  • Benefiting from increased DBA productivity due to lower complexity and higher efficiency, businesses could save up to $35,155 per year per DBA by using Oracle Database 11g over IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.
Once again Oracle Database 11g—with its industry-leading self-management infrastructure— simply outperforms IBM DB2.
