Oracle MySQL and Sun Server development program

Oracle has issued a commitment to the acquisition of Sun's products. Oracle says it will actively promote the development of MySQL's open source database rather than let it fend for itself. Oracle has also announced plans to develop sun hardware and other software.

Oracle also plans to continue investing and maintaining OpenOffice.org independence, and will launch a separate cloud productivity suite similar to Google Docs, according to Edward Screven, Oracle's chief community architect. At the moment, Sun's OpenOffice has been a powerful challenger to Microsoft Office.

Earlier, many users feared Oracle would gradually eliminate MySQL because of clashes with Oracle's commercial database products. Because MySQL has a place in the database field with the idea and idea of open source, and to some extent, it poses a threat to Oracle. After the MySQL collection, the user's biggest concern is that Oracle will "freeze" it up.

And Oracle has always liked to fuse the products and technology of the acquired company, a typical example of the acquisition of arranges Soft, which, although Oracle retains the trademark of arranges Soft (PeopleSoft), is unlikely to feel the presence of Jen in companies that know very little about the company. This has also contributed to the early EU's delay in the acquisition of Sun Trading Review by Oracle Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33196.html "> main reasons.

To this end, Oracle has to make limited concessions, in December 2009, Oracle made 10 specific commitments to support MySQL's follow-up development. Oracle said it would invest at least $72 million in the next 3 years to develop MySQL and continue to release the latest technology research and development results for the Open-source software. Allow other technology vendors to continue to authorize the use of MySQL in their respective products over the next 5 years.

Now, after the EU's merger review, Oracle says it will continue to MySQL's independent sales force while improving MySQL's code, support and compatibility with other Oracle applications. Screven will be responsible for MySQL, OpenOffice.org and other open source applications in the open source software department.

At a webcast launch in Wednesday, Screven and other Oracle officials said Oracle's acquisition of many of Sun's top technologies would give the merged company a "complete, open, integrated" system. "Oracle and Sun merger are a huge challenge for IBM," he said. In addition, the merged Oracle-sun is still the biggest supporter of enterprise open source technology. Screven said.

Oracle also unveiled other software and technology development plans at its Wednesday press conference.

Java: Oracle plans to "broaden and strengthen the scope of Java" while implementing the integration and simplification of the Java platform. Specifically, the introduction of the Java Standard version of client 7 for desktop computers and the introduction of the mobile version of Java ME, which is compatible with the desktop version, to reduce the programmer's work.

Oracle also said it would make it easy for Web site developers to use JavaScript. These actions will help to strengthen the Java developer community with the goal of reaching 10 million people.

OpenOffice.org:Screven said that OpenOffice.org would be managed as an independent business unit, and that the Sun's development and support team would continue to retain it. Oracle will continue to support the free OpenOffice.org community. But Oracle also plans to launch a software suite called Oracle Cloud Office, which Oracle has been developing for some time. But the original OpenOffice.org support of the StarOffice is not mentioned, this is originally used to compete with IBM a product.

Solaris: This is the server operating system that Sun announced open source in 2005. Oracle says it plans to increase investments on Solaris, with the goal of enabling it to run thousands of CPU threads simultaneously and handle terabytes of memory.

Linux: Oracle supports red Hat Linux and has already deployed Linux for tens of thousands of users, and Oracle is committed to continuing to invest in Linux and Solaris.

As for hardware devices such as Oracle's shortage of servers, Oracle officials say they will continue to invest in Sun's multi-threaded UltraSPARC processors and use them for Niagara servers, as well as the M-series server family based on Fujitsu's SPARC64 processor. In addition, Oracle will continue to develop and sell Sun's x64 server, which uses processors from Intel and AMD.

Oracle, after the sun's hardware is closed, will combine the advantages of both sides, the introduction of integrated products, such as database dedicated machine. It combines Oracle's database with Sun mail and optimizes it. To this end, IDC analysts said that Oracle's integration of the advantages of both the hardware and software to better work, but also conducive to the product to market as soon as possible.

As the Oracle and Sun merger deals have been delayed for a while pending approval, companies such as IBM and HP have been frantically courting the original Sun's clients during this period, so Oracle, after announcing new plans and promises, needs to bring confidence to old customers as soon as possible to prevent them from moving to rivals.

Next, Oracle says it will continue to target customers in industries such as retailing and telecoms, providing them with integrated software and hardware solutions while continuing to sell generic servers.
