Oracle To Increase Investment In SPARC and Solaris

Posted by kdawson on Friday September 11, 2009 @01:48AM from the just-so's-you-know dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Slashdot community has recently questioned what Oracle will do with Sun hardware if and when Oracle's acquisition of Sun closes. And it seems that speculation about the future of SPARC hardware has been common among Slashdot commenters for years. That said, it seems newsworthy that Oracle is going out of their way with some aggressive marketing directed at IBM to state clearly their plans to put more money than Sun does now into SPARC and Solaris." MySQL is not mentioned in this ad, perhaps because (as Matt Asay speculates) the EU is looking closely into that aspect of the proposed acquisition.

You need to call him "Hillary Clinton's husband" for the young folks to know who you're talking about.

You mean they fired all of Sun's employees? ...
No, Jonathan Schwartz did.
