Well, anything is "unbreakable" as long as one gets to make up their own definition for the word. http://www.mail-resources.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&; sid=73&mode=&order=0 (sorry for the link wrap).
For the typical US business Oracle 9i costs about 4x what implementing an Exchange server would. And for enterprise customers it fails to adequately address the collaborative needs which real groupware servers provide (Notes, Exchange, etc). As for saving 1.1 million in annual administration costs for 44 Exchange servers.. apparently I am grossly underpaid! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Brady To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 1/19/2002 11:28 AM Subject: Unbreakable Oracle 9i Anyone have an opinions on Oracle's claim to make exchange unbreakable (ie replace the backend with 9i (100 exchange => 1 oracle) and keep the clients on Outlook? Thanks ... Jim Here's the blurb ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Save Millions and Save Headaches Oracle9iAS Unified Messaging - combining email, voicemail, fax - is the most cost effective, reliable and secure messaging system. All messages are stored in a single repository - Oracle9i Database, with central management in the data center. Save $$$ on hardware, software and administration with unified e-mail, voicemail and fax.

Enjoy security of messages stored in Oracle's database - backed by 14 international security evaluations Oracle & Customers Save $$$ with Consolidation Oracle saved $13 million in the first year and $11 million per subsequent year by consolidating 97 servers into 2. Landis ICT Group migrated from 44 Exchange servers to one Oracle email server, saving $900K on fixed costs and $1.1 million annually on administration. Oracle saved $100K by implementing unified messaging for 1000 users in a new office instead of purchasing a conventional voicemail system. Make Microsoft Email Unbreakable You love your Microsoft Email - but you're worried about security and reliability. Simply keep Microsoft Outlook and replace your Microsoft Exchange servers - up to 100 of them - with one Oracle Database Server. Suddenly Microsoft Email is unbreakable. The only change the users notice is that their e-mail is faster and always available. Oracle Consulting's Email Migration Service provides all the assistance you need to migrate from Microsoft Exchange to Oracle9i. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
