Sun and Oracle getting married
Think its too early to tease out what's going to happen..The initial
release sets the tone of Sun fitting into Oracles business model However the
full integration of the value chain here is a big undertaking for oracle.The
development of Solaris in enterprise is welcomed however this is a amber light
only.Sun has poor senior management,whilst Oracles senior management is more
dinamic.Oracle has a poor short term culture unlike Sun who engenders
innovation.
Will Sun get what it needs from this? It is unclear..whether a step back to
the past enterprise hardware roots (which has long gone) is good for either Sun
or Oracle without re inventing the wheel is unclear. Ellison needs more
innovation at oracle, sun could give it to them?..What will Opensource be an
asset or hindrance to Oracle?Will Sun be ingested or just restructured to turn
a profit?..What is also of interest is whether Oracle will remain an enterprise
player or simply use opensource and Opensolaris to get closer to the B2C market
customers....all these question will be answered in time..
