Oracle buys Sun Microsystems
What IBM couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do, Oracle just did (or wanted more): buying the billions of dollars worth Sun Microsystems during the current crisis: for…7.4 billion dollars!
Although both companies have a lot of overhead in software and hardware, especially Java and Solaris will be very important for Oracle: the Fusion Middleware is heavily leaning on Java and Solaris is the most important platform for the Oracle database.
Some interesting developments will be on the hardware front: Oracle started working with Dell and HP on the hardware/server market. Sun has a big stake in this market already.
And what will Oracle do (or won’t do) with MySQL, the incredible popular OpenSource database, which powers this and millions of other websites?
