The following is intended to outline our general product direction. It is
intended for information purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any
contract. It is not a commitment to deliver any material, code, or functionality,
and should not be relied upon in making purchasing decisions.
The development, release, and timing of any features or functionality
described for Oracle’s products remains at the sole discretion of Oracle.
The following is intended to provide information for Oracle and Sun as we
continue to combine the operations worldwide. Each country will complete its
integration in accordance with local laws and requirements. In the EU and
other non-EU countries with similar requirements, the combinations of local
Oracle and Sun entities as well as other relevant changes during the
transition phase will be conducted in accordance with and subject to the
information and consultation requirements of applicable local laws, EU
Directives and their implementation in the individual members states. Sun
customers and partners should continue to engage with their Sun contacts
for assistance for Sun products and their Oracle contacts for Oracle products.
Complete. Open. Integrated.
In our opinion, the Solaris operating system is by far the best UNIX
technology available in the market. That explains why more Oracle
databases run on the Sun SPARC Solaris platform than any other
computer system. In case you are interested, Linux is the number
two Oracle platform and remains extremely important to us. With the
acquisition of Sun we will be able to tightly integrate the Oracle
database to some of the unique high-end features of Solaris.
Engineering the Oracle database and the Solaris operating system
to work together enables us for the first time to deliver complete and
integrated computer systems, database to disk, optimized for higher
performance, improved reliability, enhanced security, easier
management, and a lower total cost of ownership.
