Oracle has presented its plans for teams from Sun. It will completely overhaul the hardware offers the father of Solaris, but should not touch MySQL, OpenOffice and JavaOne.

The Sun by Oracle

The firm speaks initially to spend in the next four generations of SPARC servers as well as Solaris operating system plus storage solutions for the business to generate the novel foundations of his business deals. The business of Larry Ellison crowd so the path of consolidation, the major trend of the moment, like Cisco, VMware and NetApp ( "Joining forces to secure the clouds") or Microsoft and HP.

Concretely, this means first of all say that we should expect to see a new generation of processor UltraSparc T land to the end of the year. Oracle will also change models and build the machines on demand instead of stocks in reserve. The goal is to reduce costs and return to the path of profits. The catalog will also significantly reduce compared to the 60 configurations currently offered by Sun. The firm has finally said that the market for x86 Windows machines not interested.

Proponents of MySQL and OpenOffice have nothing to fear

Regarding MySQL, Oracle said that the development and marketing teams will remain intact and independent. The software belongs to its database division, but should not be affected by the restructuring and there will be no layoffs in that department. The firm of Larry Ellison has just promised that the database would be integrated into its solutions, so it is a full member of the Oracle family. OpenOffice also has a similar fate; the team managing the project is still independent. Finally, the publisher has announced the dates for the JavaOne conference, showing that he wants to continue to invest in the Java platform and its developers.

The conference lasted a total of five hours and was held just hours after the completion of the acquisition by Sun.
