"Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010, and since that time Oracle's hardware and software engineers have worked side-by-side to build fully integrated systems and optimized solutions designed to achieve performance levels that are unmatched in the industry. Early examples include the Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-8, and the first Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, both introduced in late 2010. During 2011, Oracle introduced the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, a general-purpose, engineered system with Oracle Solaris that delivered record-breaking performance on a series of enterprise benchmarks. Oracle's SPARC-based systems are some of the most scalable, reliable, and secure products available today. Sun's prized software portfolio has continued to develop as well, with new releases of Oracle Solaris, MySQL, and the recent introduction of Java 7. Oracle invests in innovation by designing hardware and software systems that are engineered to work together."

""Oracle's hardware and software engineers have worked side-by-side to build fully integrated systems and optimized solutions""......right. F--- you Oracle.

@P3exE6d - we are all bitter in various ways about the changes going on. To be a bit blunt, most of these changes are macro. Who's buying on prem stuff these days? Sure there are a few. But so many now "rent" their cores / run time. It is an immovable object. One cannot avoid it. One must either adapt or wither.

That bio is actually pretty good. To it, and unofficially, should be added the fact that Sun was instrumental in the earliest "Cloud" offerings of ORCL. Anyone remember OnDemand?

It was an overt reason LE gave. He never wanted it to work like that If he did he could have pushed the software teams to work closely with hardware teams.

Apparently all he pushes people to do is to buy companies and fire employees

LE: Look, iPhone does it, it's software and hardware combined, nifty. Let's buy, let's buy, hmmm, gimme Sun...

LE may have wanted it to work but people TK, CR and RS have never bought in to that idea

"hardware and software systems that are engineered to work together."

Software guys didn't want anything to do with SUN hardware. They were not willing to change any of their code to pickup SPARC hardware. for at least 7 years, the hardware guys tried to talk to the SW guys to work together and make the damn SW works "together" with the HW but it was hopeless.

so ya F--- you Oracle . that was the only correct part in your long thread.
