Oracle Ends Partnership With HP

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's-not-you-it's-me dept.

Rambo Tribble writes "As detailed in a Reuters report, Oracle is terminating their cooperative relationship with HP in light of their anticipated acquisition of Sun. With Sun servers in house, Oracle apparently feels no need to work with HP anymore. They will 'continue to sell the Exadata computers, built in partnership with HP, until existing inventory is sold out, if customers request that model.' Oracle is much more enthusiastic about a new version of Exadata, which they developed with Sun."

    Oracle was sick of those horrible HP printer cartridges, and wanted to lower their printing costs.

    Your cool kids aren't Oracle's target market. No one really cares too much if their last update to Facebook dies because the shared key mechanism died and they had to restore from backup, people really care a LOT if their paycheck doesn't get cut or their last deposit goes poof.
