Concerns and expectations of eight programmers for Oracle's sun acquisition

 

On the evening of March 13, Beijing time, a major news came from the United States. Oracle bought sun at $9.5 per share, with a total transaction value of more than $7 billion. The entire transaction is expected to be completed this summer. As soon as the news came out, the neighbors were shocked. In just two or three hours, hundreds of netizens, especially programmers, posted comments through blogs to express their expectations and worries. We have selected blog posts from eight netizens to explain the merger case from another perspective.

Sunset Xishan-Oracle's acquisition of sun

For the IT industry, this is the best and the worst. Sun did not make the dot in Web 2.0 and sold it for $7.4 billion.

Although I am not a fan of sun, I still feel unhappy. This acquisition means that several other products may be moved to the Cold palace. MySQL, which everyone cares about, is a poor fate. Sun has been tossing for more than a year, but it has never been discussed in the open-source community. How can we locate it in the new Oracle product line? Will be an addition to Oracle's existing suite of database products... Of course, InnoDB and MySQL are broken in the mirror. Are there other variables, such as being redeemed by the original MySQL team? Hard!

For Oracle, this time we finally have two trump cards, namely, hardware (iSCSI) and operating system (Solaris). In fact, Oracle and sun have been partners for many years (more than 25 years ), I believe that integration may not be a problem. The failure of this acquisition may be IBM, and Oracle has put more pressure on rival IBM. Can the blue giant afford this price? Do you still think it is enough? Sun's Java technology is a good complement to IBM's minicomputers. In a few years, this may be the biggest mistake IBM has ever made.

In addition to IBM, I am afraid there is RedHat. But don't worry. Maybe Oracle will also accept RedHat one day. I believe the JBoss in RedHat should at least make Oracle eye-catching. With JBoss, other middleware won't be able to earn more.

Everything is possible. Other things are hard to determine, but there is something that can be basically affirmed. Uncle Larry Alyson has the opportunity to experience the richest man in the world...

Transactions that change the competitive landscape of the IT industry

When I came back from work on the evening of the 20th, I finally got a message from the QQ group of Oracle BI. Oracle took a major shot and bought sun at $7.4 billion. Once we see this message, we feel that this will be a huge change in the IT industry's competitive landscape.

I have never been optimistic about IBM's acquisition of sun. The business overlap between Sun and sun is too high. Once sun is integrated into IBM's product system, Sun will be a daughter-in-law role, their own Solaris and MySQL will surely be self-defeating, and the prospect of Java is not good. In short, IBM is not very kind to sun. The Oracle acquisition has a bright prospect for sun. First, sun's best software asset-Java and Solaris are not owned by Oracle itself, especially once Oracle gets Java, its open corporate strategy will give Java more room for development, while Solaris will help Oracle databases and application software provide better performance and market for high-end customers.

Oracle, with sun, will enter the hardware market of high-end application servers, which will have a great impact on IBM, HP, and Dell, the overall IT solution of Oracle Database + application software + middleware + server will not be available to any other software company at present. Its overall solution capabilities and price advantages, the IT industry will be shuffled more thoroughly.

For me personally, it may be enough to support the family of Oracle products in the future, and there is a lot of room for development. Oracle's long product line is enough for me to have an accurate positioning and sustainable development. With the improvement of my personal technical and business capabilities in the future, oracle products can be used to provide enterprise software application solutions.

In short, this is a win-win transaction, and the legend of sun will make Oracle more leader, and Oracle's rapid Company Development and stable market share, sun's outstanding products will have more room for development and competition. What I am worried about now is that Oracle should recruit new employees who have been cut off by Sun as soon as possible.

Three concerns about Oracle's acquisition of sun

Oracle's acquisition of Sun should be a good thing, and both parties will have a great benefit:

1 Oracle and Solaris are both golden partners. If they are merged, it will be better.

2 Oracle has acquired Bea, and Oracle has obtained the best app server. In combination with Sun's Java, it will be the strongest in Java application services.

3. In JCP, after the two major companies are unified, JCP development will be promoted.

4 Oracle will acquire sun hardware R & D, and Oracle may develop towards hardware

5. Java middleware may develop better. Although Sun has made many specifications, it will not do business, and Oracle is the best merchant. Such integration should be more harmonious.

As a Java programmer, I am also worried:

1. jrocket and JDK may be merged. Is there no need to create two JVMs?

2. How does jdeveloper and netbeans develop? Is there no need to develop two Ides?

3. In what direction will MySQL go?

In general, Oracle's acquisition of Sun is better than the combination of IBM and sun. It is still optimistic about Sun's future development. I will stick to it in Java.

Sun's ending

I was shocked when someone on the Forum said Sun was acquired by Oracle. I once had a dream of sun, which is still a very naive sophomore year. During my sophomore year, I planned to start my career as a programmer on Sun's core development platform, but later I gradually entered Linux. At the time of graduation, I went to Windows. Now we are ready to start the Linux program.

As a whole, Sun is a programmer's company. Its founder spoke very well and was once called a four-swordsman with Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle. The company insisted on taking the high-end route and gradually went downhill. We once had a full range of products with almost civilized computer industry, such as CPUs, servers, and operating systems.

The founder of Oracle and sun have different life experiences. Sun went well during his start-up period, while oracle was still at the lowest point in his life when he was 26 years old and started his career when he was in his 30 s. So I think Oracle will have a better chance to walk more steadily than sun. From the perspective of Oracle's acquisition history, whether it is a snake or image swallow, its financial services will always maintain good digestion capabilities for Oracle, so this is not an accident.

The acquisition of Sun by IBM should cause a lot of trouble for its own business. Oracle acquisition will be a very meaningful event. Sun's current product lines include OS, Java, vbox, MySQL ,....

Emotionally speaking, why is Sun acquired? Why can't I take my own path?

Oracle does not need to acquire sun

I did not expect Oracle to acquire sun even after the failure of the IBM acquisition. I personally feel that Oracle does not need to acquire sun.

1. Apart from Java, sun's software is basically junk. It is estimated that Oracle can make Java better.

2. MySQL is a database product that Oracle simply looks down upon. iplant has always been a waste.

3. Oracle focuses on developing Linux, while Solaris is not the operating system required by Oracle. It is far behind competitors and Oracle should not spend money on it.

4. Oracle is bound to break with HP when sun is acquired (can HP Oracle Database machine continue ?), Over the past 30 years, partners are about to become rivals.

I really think there is no benefit. Maybe Oracle thinks that the acquisition is cheap now. After all, sun's market value has reached 200 billion.

Larry Ellison, the mad guy, wants to take a full battle with IBM by acquiring sun. Larry, don't be confused!

Sun's acquisition by Oracle has a bad feeling

I went home from work overtime today and got online with two pieces of news.

One is the battle of World of Warcraft Agency power between jiucheng and Netease. NetEase wins, and jiucheng will face a loss of about 80% of its income sources.

The other one is that IBM does not want sun, and sun was finally acquired by Oracle.

For the World of Warcraft news, I think jiucheng was so crazy at the beginning that it had ruined people's brands. Zhu Jun is resting.

I have a bad feeling about Sun's acquisition by Oracle. I am usually engaged in Java Development, except sun is IBM, And the Oracle website has not been visited yet. However, sun's netbeans and swing will survive the acquisition of oracle. Because IBM's eclipse and SWT are their biggest competitors.

9 city and sun have one thing in common, that is, they like to compete with others, and they are both competitors.

9 city has World of Warcraft, but also to beat EA's fart, but also to grab the dance troupe.

Almost all sun products compete directly with a different large IT company.

Sometimes, convergence is better.

Be careful when backing the tree

In this purchase war, Sun finally chose a better destination for him. After all, IBM had the least chance of overlap with him. Her Sage was not destroyed by the acquisition, it is possible to develop in the future. Oracle has gained a short-board operating system, and Java is also a new weapon, and it has obtained unconditional support from the hardware platform; sun hopes to use a strong application software community to regain industry recognition and get rid of the business and financial difficulties.

The final winner of Sun's nickname is not IBM, but an oracle with profound internal strength. If IBM is Huashan qizong, focusing on the cultivation of the inner and comprehensive strength; Sun is Huashan jianzong, focusing on the changes in tactics and technological innovation; the last encounter between the two was, the biggest possibility is to eliminate the other, and this one must be relatively weak. From the practice of Huashan, although the disciples of jianzong entered the mirror quickly at the beginning, they were still strong in the later stage.

IBM is a century-old store and has experienced war and economic crisis. It has gone through several economic cycles and knows how to survive. Sun is a rising star and has a brilliant sword, but it has never solved the internal problems in the business process, oracle has always been an ideal and has a poor execution ability. Oracle is almost a different path. At least, he has no sword (hardware) in his hand, and he has a pair of hands; it is basically equivalent to the level of Qiao Feng, which can be played and also plays a role in the rivers and lakes. However, doujianke is estimated to be looking for the guy who matches his opponent.

When sun encounters Oracle, it is basically equivalent to a swordsman who is driven down the hill by Qi Zheng, and has met Qiao fengla to help his boxing; when Jack reaches the hill, he works with Jian Zong, which is quite powerful, the sword is so angry that even two masters (sales) are able to take advantage of it, this strange combination of Internal Skill and sword skill is enough for them to drink a pot, which is much more difficult to deal with than the single sword sect.

Everything is still in place, and it seems that the new combination is strong, but there are still many unstable factors in the combination of the temporary puller and the configuration item. Who knows whether the combination of today and tomorrow will turn a different face, both couples have a divorce rate of 30%, so don't join hands. If you turn your face over, Qiao Feng beat the man and snatched the sword, or the sword of jianzong accidentally hurt the grass in Joe's family; it's hard to tell whether it's a comedy or a tragedy ......

This evening, the news reported that Oracle had acquired sun and it was a bit lost when it heard the news. There was a feeling that it could not be said. I thought about what it was like and what it was like to be a giant comparable to Microsoft, in less than 10 years, the giant fell down. The old dream of the Empire also died. I thought that when I first chose Java, I was infected by this momentum. Now I am really worried about Java. I don't know if it will be better tomorrow if I change to a new club, now, you can only change it.

A netizen, Marcian, is thinking and destroyed

It is expected that Java and MySQL will not be affected.

I was acquired from the old ancestor of Java. I hope that the Java I like will not be affected, and MySQL will not be affected.

I like the elegance of Java very much, but the current Java is a little bloated.

Recently, I am working on a small Java project with foreign companies. For the first time, I tried cross-border cooperation. Fortunately, the other party is also Chinese, and I hope this cooperation will become a new starting point.

Continue to work hard to get Oracle to buy me one day. Haha, it's so tired today that it's just a dream.
