Application server
environments from IBM, BEA, and Oracle were compared against these baseline
cost results.

servers can benefit from the results of the study by taking into consideration
the attributes and capabilities that most impact ongoing administration and
performance management costs:

-- Unified, actionable performance and availability monitoring;
-- Diagnostic tools that span the entire environment, including not only
the application server platform , but other components such as the
database; and,
-- Automated service level tracking to comply with Service Level
Agreements

management costs: Installation and Software Maintenance (two percent),
