I'm thinking Oracle/Sun will eventually end up in HP's hands.
- falsestprophet 18y agoWhy? Oracle has a larger market capitalization than HP: ~90 billion vs. 84.
- briansmith 18y agoHow will that work? Oracle's market cap is higher than HP's.
- ja27 18y agoBecause Oracle and HP are already tight partners and analysts refer to them as essentially one entity against IBM. Plenty of people expect the Sun hardware line to die or get sold to HP, while Oracle keeps the software line. http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/6606-0-0-225-121.html http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/6606-0-0-225-121.... http://blogs.zdnet.com/Gardner/?p=2903 http://blogs.zdnet.com/Gardner/?p=2903
- briansmith 18y agoNow that it has aqcuired Sun, it can make those Exadata appliances itself, without HP. That's basically what Oracle said they were going to do today.
