Ellison on Sun Java: "the single most important software asset we have ever acquired"
(From San Francisco Chronicle) Larry Ellison, CEO and founder of Oracle says this about the acquisition of Sun: "Java runs on hundreds of millions of computers, cell phones and even DVDs, and Oracle's fusion middleware is based entirely on Sun Java," said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. "Java is the single most important software asset we have ever acquired."
In a conversation I had tonight with one Oracle source I was told that you need to put Ellison's comments in perspective: Ellison is saying that this acquisition is bigger than Seibel, bigger than PeopleSoft, bigger than BEA Systems, bigger than Hyperion. And as the SF Chronicle pointed out, this wasn't a hostile take over or a move to put a competitor out of business like some of the other acquistions. This appears to be both a strategic technology grab and in the case of MySQL, perhaps a move to drive a wedge between one lower end SQL database alternative coming out of Redmond, Washington.
