At an event in London last month, Oracle’s UK leader David Callaghan revealed plans to provide integrated hardware and software.
The aim of the new products is to lower IT operating costs and boost performance for users.
Callaghan said: "Oracle's strategy is about being complete, open and integrated, which brings value by broadening functionality and driving out risk."
Oracle vice-president of systems Dermot O'Kelly said that the move would give Oracle the unique capability to provide users with a fully integrated enterprise system from the application, middleware and database through to the operating system, server and storage hardware.
He also said "By combining Sun with Oracle, we are changing the economies of running a datacentre."
The potential for cost-cutting here is huge. Large businesses using Oracle’s complete software and hardware system will benefit in particular.
This comes in the wake of Oracle’s acquisition of Sun Microsystems, which sparked fears amongst Sun users that their systems would no longer be supported.
In response to this, Oracle spokespeople have said that the company will focus its efforts on developing enterprise systems for Solaris, whilst at the same time supporting users those running Sun's x86 servers and using Windows. Specifically, Oracle will develop Linux and Solaris systems for the SunFire 2200, 4100, 4200, 4400 and 4600 servers.

In times like this, just like a powerful family marrying into each other to maintain power in ancient times, it is necessary for huge powers to join hands for each other's purpose of selling software and improving their market.
