Oracle is committed to supporting Sun hardware businesses refuse to say anything about MySQL
Oracle on Thursday on the European edition of the Wall Street Journal published on the front page of advertising there are many things to say to customers of Sun Microsystems. The ads promise increased investment in the Sun Solaris software and hardware, however, for MySQL is definitely not saying anything. This was to ease the fears of European administrations deliberately omitted this content, also is a sign of Oracle’s intentions?
Oracle advertising made the following commitments:
1. spend more money developing SPARC processor, more than Sun is investing;
2. spend more money developing Solaris operating system, more than Sun is investing;
3 them. increase than 1 time times the Sun current hardware professionals who sells and service SPARC/Solaris system;
4. by Oracle software to integrate more closely with Sun’s hardware significantly improving the hardware performance of Sun.
Larry ellisson Oracle Chief Executive, IBM warned, we entered was to win. IBM, we look forward to working with you in the hardware business competition.
Due to the uncertainty of the Oracle acquisition effects, Sun’s business has been dropped. Oracle’s advertising is obviously to comfort those who are likely to turn to build a more stable relationship with IBM and HP customers. However, it is interesting to Oracle without MySQL make any guarantees. This may be in order to avoid the EU critical of a political action. The EU is looking into the Oracle acquisition of Sun’s MySQL business impact.
Or Oracle is consider eliminating MySQL customer concerns is a not-so-important task. When Sun acquired MySQL company, the company’s sales revenue was US $ 100 million. Consider longer delay to Oracle acquisition of Sun’s hardware business there will be a loss of billions of dollars, MySQL businesses lose tens of millions of dollars is just one point o money.
In addition, it was not clear whether the decision of the Oracle acquisition of Sun will slow down MySQL applications. Oracle’s advertising aimed at enhancing still buying confidence in the Chief Information Officer of Sun hardware. They may not know is rectification and reform their institutions using MySQL Enterprise-wide. When they knew, should have ended by Oracle’s acquisition of Sun.
