That'll be the rest of Sun heading off to India then....Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

THis should be stopped, they have been trying it for years.
IBM shag up everything they touch.Comment

Maybe, but from a datacentre OS/infrastructure point of view IBM have had the edge in reliability and performance over Sun for some years - albeit at a premium in cost.Originally posted by minestrone View Post
Can't quite see how they are going to integrate the midrange product lines though unless they are not planning to, and are solely interested in Suns software, R&D, professional services and manufacturing capacity. Unfortunately, if this is the case it may be the end for all of those sci-fi server cabinet designs that Sun are so good a designing.
Whatever the case... I'd still have Sun products propping up my infrastructure than HP and their woeful service division any day of the week.Sval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

I wonder their interest in Sun is based on its servers,hardware and infrastructure stuff or Software side (R&D, Java , Enterprise App Servers e.t.c) fancies them more......Comment

I see it from an application point of view. SUN have at last built up a pretty decent software range, IBM would just get shot of them, it would take mySQL and the rest would be binned forcing yet more onto the steaming pile of crap that is websphere.Comment

If you read the article you'll see that SUN has been out with its begging bowl asking for someone to buy them. IBM has not been "trying it for years". SUN has been shooting themselves in the foot for years and now has no credible roadmap.Originally posted by minestrone View Post
Furthermore, IBM has made great gains over SUN from a hardware perspective in the last few years and now considers that SUN's hardware is a bit of a joke. As a result IBM has been steadily converting SUN customers to IBM.
I suspect that the acquisition will be about enabling SUN's remaining customers to move to IBM, probably by porting Solaris and SUN's range of software to Power.
SUN hardware will fade away over the next few years (as HP did with Alpha and IBM did with Sequent)Comment
