Pricing models for Oracle WebLogic and IBM WebSphere are highly dependent on both the number of processor cores as well as the type of processor core in use. Please review instructions for each comparison to ensure that the correct Oracle Core Factors and IBM Processor Value Units (PVUs) are being used.
