For new order transactions, Oracle-Sun server's new world-record TTP benchmark beats the next best TTP result posted by IBM server by nearly 3X in throughput performance while delivering more than 3x better average response time. Moreover, Oracle-Sun's servers cost 26% less than the IBM's server. Therefore, CIOs whose organizations process new order transactions will improve the bottom line of their IT organization by switching their future server purchases from IBM to Oracle-Sun.
Which of the following is an assumption made in the argument?
A. Most customers who purchase any computing equipment process at least some new order transactions
B. The oracle-Sun server does not have appreciably higher running costs that the IBM server.
C. The resale value of Oracle-Sun server is similar to that of the IBM server.
D. The suite of services provided by Oracle-Sun matches that provided by IBM.
E. Oracle-Sun and IBM are the only server options available to IT organizations.

-> Can anyone explain why option D is not correct.
"The suite of services provided by Oracle-Sun matches that provided by IBM."
Now negating this statement will negate the conclusion.
If the suite of services provided by oracle is not matching with the suite provided by IBM then why will the organisation switch the future server purchases from IBM to Oracle-Sun.

Hi gmatcanada. the suite of services matches implies that the features/services are exactly the same. What if Oracle has even more services? In that case, the conclusion still holds even though the services do not match. I fell for this choice at first as well.
Hope that helps.
