Microsoft Windows Server 2003 on Dell PowerEdge servers. Now customers,
regardless of size, experience level or standardized OS preference, can easily

Dell/Oracle/Microsoft platform in record time.
This offering, part of Dell and Oracle's exclusive go-to-market agreement for
Standard Edition One, provides a number of key benefits for small businesses
and enterprise departments running Microsoft Windows, including:
- Easy to Deploy -- Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition One pre-installed on
Dell systems removes the time and guess work of configuring customers'
information technology (IT) environment so that companies with even the most
limited IT resources can be up and running in minutes.
- Easy to Manage -- A customized dashboard enables customers to perform
common Oracle administration tasks that are pre-defined and menu driven off of
the Windows Server start bar. Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition One's
advanced features, including self-management make systems tuning and
diagnostics a breeze.
- Easy to Purchase -- One-stop purchasing and shrink-wrapped licensing that
is preloaded on Dell servers at no additional cost to the customer, provide
the complete hardware and software platform with the contract to license
Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition One solutions by simply purchasing and
breaking the seal.
This offering provides the industry-leading performance, reliability and
security of Oracle Database 10g on Dell PowerEdge 2800 servers and
award-winning PowerEdge 2850 servers in a cost-effective package, making it
ideal for those who want to start small but plan for future growth. Oracle
Database 10g Standard Edition One preinstalled on Dell servers addresses the
performance and expandability needs of growing businesses.
Dell's experience in the server market enables the company to deliver a
complete solution that is affordable, as well as easy to deploy and manage.
Extensive Dell and Oracle testing of the Oracle/Windows configurations on Dell
servers provides customers with the assurance of knowing that their purchase
is fully supported and validated by industry leaders. Dell is the single point
of contact for customer support on these platforms.
The combined factory installed Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition One and
Microsoft Windows on Dell PowerEdge 2850 is available from Dell immediately.
Prices vary by configuration and include the PowerVault 220S external storage
system. The platform will be also available on the PowerEdge 2800 in Q4 of
2004. This solution further demonstrates Oracle and Dell's commitment to
delivering a range of enterprise-class solutions for all customers and builds
upon the previously announced pre-packaged Dell/Oracle offering with Red Hat
Linux.
