Sun acquires the M in LAMP

Wednesday, January 16. 2008

Today, Jonathan announced, that Sun will acquire Mysql AB. This is an incredible move: At first, this helps us against the ridiclious pricing model of Oracle in the advent of systems with 256 cores. And as i headlined this entry: Sun is now the M in LAMP. This is nice position. You can read more about this deal in the press release

PS: An interesting side effect ... does this mean, that Kris will become a Sunnie in the next few months ?

Update: Kris already wrote about it in his blog (sorry, in german only).

Hmmmm,

some Linux fanatics might interprete this as a direct attack.

Why should you just be the "M" in LAMP, when you could also be the "S" in "SAMP" ^^

I mean with Linux still lacking ZFS support and a better integration of Solaris & MySQL, why should one use Linux for an mere webserver ?

Any advantages of Linux against Solaris which I have missed ? I guess lacking drivers are not an issue in the server segment.

cheers & congratulations

Honestly there are more LAMPs than SAMPs out there ... but this may change now ...
