Combined Benefits of Appliance Architecture
8i Appliance and Filer
Network Appliance
Appliance Paradigm - Validation from Industry Watchers
“A new type of server device will emerge on the enterprise network. Lightweight, specific-purpose and standards-based, appliances will revolutionize delivery of network infrastructure services.”
– GartnerGroup
“The move to the appliance paradigm is so compelling that we’re writing a report on ‘corporate appliances’ and we find this strategy as an endorsement of our theory.”
– Forrester Research
Network Appliance
IT Challenges Scale: more users to service and more data to manage
– Creates high demand for infrastructure (servers and desktops)
Reliability: Applications and data are your business– Must be available 7 x 24 x 365
Speed: Only the fastest will win– Requires rapid deployment of infrastructure
Focus: Concentrate on getting more business, not running it– Currently companies spend 80% of time and money on IT
infrastructure, only 20% on business development
Efficiency: We must do more with less– High demand for IT professionals, low unemployment rate

Oracle Appliance Customers
“The total cost of ownership of an Oracle8i Appliance is between 4 or 5 times less than a
typical configuration.”
“The Oracle8i Appliance allows us to dramatically speed time to market. As examples, we recently cut a two–to–three week database project down
to 36 hours and we validated a new product offering in two weeks instead of two months.”
- Shawn Wiora, Vice President of Strategic Markets, Aperian
