Who should cry when Oracle buys SUN?

Some people say that Microsoft should cry when Oracle acquires SUN. I am very curious about the reason for this. So I went to the Internet to refer to relevant materials to analyze the main reasons, if you are curious about it, the following articles will satisfy your curiosity.

Sighing the power of the Internet, I almost immediately learned about SUN's final acquisition by Oracle. Industry observers who have previously been teased by IBM can now confidently discuss this Oralce purchase case.

So let's take a look at two real stories:

At the end of 1990s, Oracle Ellison had a strong advocate of a network computer. He and Sun's Scott McNealy were traveling around the United States, hoping to use their thin computer thin-client) to replace Microsoft and Intel Wintel. Due to their hard work, Intel was really scared to compress the cost, making the NC Network Computer useless. As a result, Windows and Intel won the battle. Ellison didn't continue to fight.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison and Sun's CEO Scott McNealy once again joined hands to launch a "New Renaissance" Partnership Program, where the two companies integrated their products, implement new sales policies to provide replacement for Microsoft's Java-based. NET products.

Today, Oracle and SUN are truly coming together. From a technical perspective, Oracle + SUN will have a more complete hardware and software technical architecture.

Who should cry most? I think it is Microsoft. For a long time, Microsoft has been relying on Intel to compete in the enterprise server market. Previously, only IBM was able to provide a complete set of software and hardware services, but fortunately IBM only provided infrastructure software. But Oracle has come, from IT infrastructure + enterprise application software.

This is bound to further squeeze Wintel's market share and lose the platform, making it even worse for companies with less powerful server-side application software. After that, Microsoft was in a hurry in the Enterprise Server application market, and the client market was still promising. Google and other emerging Internet companies launched some free Apps to make Microsoft's leading Office messy. Window7? The specific market expectation is hard to say, so Microsoft should be the most anxious.

Finally, let's take a look at Oracle's acquisition of SUN. In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing that IBM has not acquired SUN. IBM's own software and hardware architecture is relatively complete, so even if it acquired SUN, IBM could only be said to be a icing on the cake. In addition, too many products of IBM and SUN overlap.

For example:

Chip server market: Sun is a platinum processor architecture, IBM is a Power architecture,

Operating System Market: SUN is Solaris, IBM is aix unix,

Database market: SUN is MYSQL and IBM is DB2.

Therefore, if IBM has acquired SUN, how to balance different products is also a problem. Now, all these problems are gone, and the emergence of Oracle-SUN, based on the Java, linux, and Unix architecture of the hardware and software platform market for example, more attention, this is also a good thing.
