Oracle stops Hewlett-Packard software support makes HP hurt

Lead: Larry Dignan, the US Science and Technology web site CNET editor, wrote today that Oracle's stop offering software support to Itanium (Itanium) would affect the sales of HP's Larry Dignan servers.　　The following is the full text of the article: HP and Oracle have a big fight over the Android processor, but it seems that the former is under great pressure. This June, Hewlett-Packard filed a petition at the California High Court in Santa Clara, demanding Oracle continue to develop software based on the Android chip system. In March, Oracle said Oracle would no longer develop software platforms based on the chip system, as Intel believed the Itanium chip was nearing the end of its product cycle. Both HP and Intel subsequently denied Oracle's statement.　　Last month, Hewlett-Packard and Oracle were diverging, accusing each other in court. Oracle's decision is now affecting sales of HP's key business systems, as customers are delaying the purchase plan.　　Imagine how consumers could continue to buy an HP itanium® server at Oracle's store in the future with uncertain support software?　　Yesterday, Hewlett-Packard's CEO, Leo Apotheke, who was under intense pressure, acknowledged that the future uncertainty of Itanium was affecting HP's performance. "Corporate key Systems (Business unacknowledged BAE) revenue fell 9% per cent year-on-year. This decline is far more than we have previously predicted. Due to Oracle's decision, customers have delayed or canceled orders. But we will strongly urge Oracle to fulfill its previous commitment to HP and continue to provide relevant software support. "Apotheker has repeatedly referred to Oracle on the issue of Itanium. Apotheker said Hewlett-Packard is ready to take Oracle to court, accusing Oracle of its decision as an "anti-consumer Act" (which includes cheating consumers, discrediting consumer expectations, and centering on the company). At the moment, HP and Oracle's dispute over Itanium do not know how to evolve, but it is certain that HP's products have entered the "Frozen period" of sales. (Puma)
