Oracle-Sun kauppa
Sun Microsystemsin Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Services Peter Ryanin kirje yrityskaupasta.
SUN PARTNER LETTER
On April 20, 2009, Oracle announced a definitive agreement to acquire Sun
Microsystems. The proposed transaction is subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain
regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Until the deal closes, each
company will continue to operate independently and it is business as usual.
This proposed acquisition will combine best-in-class enterprise software and mission-
critical computing systems. Oracle plans to engineer and deliver an integrated system –
applications to disk – where all pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to
do it themselves. Customers are expected to benefit as their systems integration costs go
down while system performance, reliability, and security go up.
Sun's core innovations such as Java, Solaris and SPARC are some of the computer
industry’s best known brands and most widely deployed technologies. Oracle Fusion
Middleware is built on top of Java and we believe that following the acquisition Oracle
will be able to ensure continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the
benefit of customers and the Java community.
The Solaris operating system and SPARC servers are the leading platform for the Oracle
database. With the proposed acquisition of Sun, we believe Oracle will be able to
optimize the Oracle database for some of the unique and innovative features of Solaris.
Like Sun, Oracle supports many platforms and also remains committed to Linux and
other open platforms and will continue to support and enhance its strong industry
partnerships.
After the closing, Oracle and Sun partners are expected to benefit by working with a
single vendor to address customer needs for enterprise systems with complementary
solutions that provide an opportunity to increase business value and drive down the total
cost of ownership through an integrated, standards-based enterprise product stack.
We are dedicated to maintaining and increasing the level of innovation, support and
service you have come to expect from Oracle and Sun. To learn more about the
acquisition please visit Sun.com/Oracle.
Sincerely,
Peter Ryan
Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Services
Sun Microsystems, Inc.

On April 20,
2009, Oracle announced that it had agreed to acquire Sun Microsystems.
The proposed transaction is subject to Sun stockholder approval,
certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Until
the deal closes, each company will continue to operate independently,
and it is business as usual.
This acquisition combines best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems. Oracle plans to engineer and deliver an integrated system—applications to disk—where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves. Customers benefit as their systems integration costs go down while system performance, reliability, and security go up.
Oracle's ownership of two key Sun software assets, Java and Solaris, is expected to provide our customers with significant benefit. Java is one of the computer industry's best known brands and most widely deployed technologies. Oracle Fusion Middleware is built on top of Sun's Java language and software. Oracle can now ensure continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.
The Sun Solaris operating system is the leading platform for the Oracle database. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle can optimize the Oracle database for some of the unique, high-end features of Solaris. Oracle is as committed as ever to Linux and other open platforms, and will continue to support and enhance our strong industry partnerships.
Our customers have been asking us to step up to a broader role to reduce complexity, risk, and cost by delivering a highly-optimized standards-based product stack. Oracle plans to deliver these benefits by offering a broad range of products, including servers and storage, with all the integrated pieces: hardware operating system, database, middleware and applications. We plan to preserve and enhance investments made by our customers, while we continue to work with our partners to provide customers with choice.
We are dedicated to maintaining and increasing the quality of innovation, support, and service that you have come to expect from Oracle and Sun. To learn more about the Sun acquisition, please visit oracle.com/sun.

Charles Phillips
