Oracle Vs Ms Sql Server to handle around 6-7 Terabytes of data

719416Aug 26 2009 — edited Oct 19 2009

I am considering Oracle 11G to handle around 6-7 Terabytes of data. This data will get accumulated over a period of 8 Months. Any data older then 8 months is purged out of the database.

Some of my MS SQL DBAs are saying SQL server offers similar performance at a very low cost. Is this really true? On What basis or parameters I can compare Oracle with MS SQL Server to nullify the price advantage?

I am not looking for ease of development, I am purely looking in terms of handling the huge data and still be able to provide good performance. Apart from performance if there is any parameter which makes any difference then please highlight.
