Application Server Platform Management Cost Comparison White Paper
This document summarizes the findings of a Crimson Consulting Group study on the costs associated with the management of application server platforms in medium and large data center environments. It presents a baseline cost model and compares IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, and Oracle Application Server against this industry baseline.
The research was based on in-depth interviews with Application Server administrators of companies from a wide spectrum of industry sectors, as well as the review of product features and industry research. The study found that Oracle Application Server has the lowest management cost among the three application server platforms.
Numerous studies have shown that operational and management costs constitute the bulk of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for large data centers, but no detailed studies have so far been made to explore the source and nature of these costs as related to application servers.
Crimson Consulting has conducted such a study, focusing on the management activities related to application server platforms1 and comparing products from the top three vendors: IBM, BEA, and Oracle. Our findings should help decision makers and administrators evaluate the cost impact of application servers from IBM, BEA, and Oracle in data center operations.
