Ashlee Vance about the Sun/IBM deal

Monday, April 20. 2009

Ashlee Vance (Do you know, what you did to the Register with your resignation there?) writes in the New York Times:

I.B.M., which competes against Oracle in the software market, also comes under new threats with the deal.

For years, I.B.M. has used it homemade servers as leverage for selling higher-profit database and business software. With Sun, Oracle opens up the same opportunity and gains access to thousands of existing Sun customers.

I think this is the essential point of this deal: Oracle wants to have it´s own hardware division. At foremost to have better access to the customer but at second to have in-house technology in the hardware sector.

Not only the hardware, also the option to CREATE APPLIANCES, having a way better OS...

There are LOTS of opportunities!

The signs have been on the wall for some time: it's the return of the systems....
And Larry doesn't want to be left out, as it seems
