Oracle Corporation
We are pleased to announce that Oracle has completed its acquisition of
Sun Microsystems and Sun is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle.
With this news, we want to reiterate our commitment to deliver complete,
open and integrated systems that help our customers improve the
performance, reliability and security of their IT infrastructure. We
would also like to thank the many customers that have supported us
throughout the acquisition process.
There is no doubt that this combination transforms the IT industry. With
the addition of servers, storage, SPARC processors, the Solaris
operating system, Java, and the MySQL database to Oracle's portfolio of
database, middleware, and business and industry applications, we plan to
engineer and deliver open and integrated systems - from applications to
disk - where all the pieces fit and work together out of the box.
Performance levels will be unmatched. Oracle's software already runs
faster on Sun SPARC/Solaris than on any other server or operating
system. With Sun as a part of Oracle, each layer of the stack will be
engineered to further improve performance, reliability and manageability
so that IT will be more predictable, more supportable, and more secure.
Customers will benefit as their system performance goes up and their
system integration and management costs go down.
In addition, our open standards-based technology will give customers
choice. Customers can purchase our fully integrated systems, or easily
integrate our best-of-breed technologies with their existing
environments. Our open technology also enables customers to take full
advantage of third party innovations. Oracle also plans to extend its
partner specialization program to include Sun technologies to better
enable partners to deliver differentiated and value-added solutions to
customers.
As always, our primary goal is 100% customer satisfaction. We are
dedicated to delivering without interruption the quality of support and
service that you have come to expect from Oracle and Sun, and more.
Oracle plans to enhance Sun customer support by improving support
access, offering better interoperability support between Oracle and Sun
products and delivering services in more local languages. Support
procedures for your existing Sun and Oracle products are unchanged, so
for now you should continue to use the same channels you've been using.
Customers can continue to purchase products from Sun in the same way
they did prior to the acquisition. We will communicate any changes to
this through regular channels.
We are very excited about this combination and look forward to
delivering to you increased innovation through accelerated investment in
Sun's hardware and software technologies such as SPARC, Solaris, Java,
and MySQL. If you weren't able to join the live event on January 27
where we, along with Larry Ellison and other executives from Oracle and
Sun outlined how this powerful combination will transform the IT
industry, you are welcome to view the replay that can be accessed at
oracle.com/sun.
Sincerely,
Charles Phillips
