CxO/LOB
• Inability to quickly gain access to new or upgrade existing business applications
and responding to changing business needs.
• Too many applications and systems that don’t function with each other, reducing
agility
• IT is seen as a business inhibitor not as an asset
• Dealing with an IT culture that defends why they can’t do something instead of
enabling the business
• Too much of the IT budget is spent maintaining the status quo and not innovating
IT Director
• Difficulty finding skilled database experts
• Finger–pointing among server and software vendors
• Time and expense of custom configurations and integration as the business
changes and grows
• Spends too much time maintaining current environment, need to know too much
in order to maintain the IT environment properly

Objection Handling
• “I use Enterprise Edition, but I don’t need to upgrade to RAC.”
In an increasingly networked and mobile world, virtually all data is becoming critical to daily business
operations. When your database is down, you face lost productivity, lost revenue and loss of customer
confidence. The Oracle Database Appliance delivers the entire value set of Oracle Enterprise Edition
while providing appliance-like ease of deployment, patching, diagnostics, support, and storage
management - eliminating the time, risk and costs normally associated with building a high-availability
solution.
• “I don’t like to buy “bundles”…I want to buy the best components necessary.”
The Oracle Database Appliance is an engineered solution, using the very best of breed of products, AND
it comes fully integrated so you don’t need to spend the time and money on alternative approaches, or
assume the risk of not designing it correctly. The exclusive Oracle Appliance Manager software provides
unprecedented ease of implementation and management for the Oracle Database Appliance.
• “We’re already invested in HP/Dell servers and can’t afford to migrate to Oracle x86.”
Total cost of ownership is always a key consideration for any solution. That’s why the Oracle Database
Appliance is such a great solution for you. You can reduce your annual OpEx by as much as $70K a year
over similar solutions from HP and Dell, while benefitting from superior ease of management and single-
vendor support.
• “ I currently use Oracle Database Standard Edition, so why do I need ODA?”
Downtime for virtually any application results in lost productivity for high value corporate resources. ODA
includes one-button install and stack management so it is easy to use with only basic skill sets. It also
features self-managing storage, automatic alerts on performance and availability events with auto-correct
failures and automated service request ticketing which provides significant added value for a relatively
small incremental investment.
50. Oracle Database Appliance
Objection Handling
• We deploy databases on cheap commodity based hardware:
The purchase price of hardware is only a small part of the overall TCO of a Database solution. Oracle’s
Database Appliance is a hardware and software complete, Oracle Engineered System that offers rapid
deployment, simplified management, monitoring, and support from a single vendor reducing overall TCO.
• We have concerns that we’ll outgrow the Oracle Database Appliance:
•The Oracle Database Appliance is ideal for SMBs and as a departmental database solution. The Database
Appliance can leverage the Oracle Database Advanced Compression shrinking the size of database while
increasing performance. In addition Oracle offers other Engineered Systems (Exadata and SuperCluster) in
order to accommodate larger environments.
• We have concerns that performance will diminish over time:
•Unlike commodity servers that require an outage to upgrade processors, or must be purchased with more
head-room then initially required, the Oracle Database Appliance provides a unique pay-as-you-grow
software licensing model to quickly scale from 2 to 24 processor cores without any hardware upgrades or
outages.
• We have concerns about the product roadmap.
•The Oracle Database Appliance is sold as standalone highly available database solution. The servers
utilized for the Database Appliance will continue to evolve and follow the Sun product roadmap.
• We don’t have Oracle databases.
• Every business has database requirements. The Oracle Database Appliance offers customers the World
number one database on an Oracle Engineered System the is simple to deploy, simple to manage, and
simple to support. The Database Appliance offers the ideal platform to take advantage of the Oracle
Database while lowering your overall cost of ownership.
