We were glued to the webcast last Wednesday learning about the strategy that Oracle will undertake to bring Sun under its wing. The full day online conference looked at every aspect of Sun and how this will apply to Oracle explaining what the vision of this purchase is.
It seems as though Oracle has its sights on IBM, looking to recreate the reliability and scope that the company had back in the day when it sold hardware, software and services in a single package. Though it's not just set on becoming but overtaking IBM in the long-term, and according to today's news that Gartner's 2010 "Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms" positions Oracle in the Leaders Quadrant, it won't take long for this to happen.
Oracle's mission to provide businesses with complete integrated and engineered systems is a clever move with the increasing complexity of trying to create them by hand. "You'd select a lot of components from different suppliers, we'd deliver those components to you, then you'd hire a lot of integrators to come in and hopefully get them to work together and find some combination that seems to work," said Charles Phillips, Oracle president. As Oracle begins integrating Sun into its full systems and service provisions portfolio the platofrm provider is certain it will come up with innovative new solutions to multilayer programming techniques.
Oracle said there would be certainly a shift in cloud computing as it plans to cut Sun's current development and provide the existing Oracle cloud solutions that will be made available to service providers to create bespoke private clouds for organisations.
The tone of the webcast was defiant and proved that there is a lot to look forward to from the merger. Steve Hall from Supply Chain Management provided an interesting overview.
