Having seen Oracle significantly dominating software application portfolio over last few years, this is first time Oracle entering into hardware market. With no doubts Oracle is going to emerge as #1 IT vendor. Pretty much other than Microsoft windows, Oracle is in every segment.
There is already buzz in industry circle, what Oracle is going to do with Sun products, more importantly 'MySql' open source database when Oracle have 'Oracle' proven database. My guess is Oracle will continue to support 'MySql' considering there is a huge customer base with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP) based applications and more importantly support revenues Oracle might get with MySql.
Who could be Oracle next target ?
1) Will Oracle continue with hardware acquisition free ??? is CISCO in their target ?
2) Will Oracle step into desktop operating system to put a check to Microsoft domination ?
3) Will 'Salesforce.com' be next on demand strategic acquisition for Oracle ?
Time will answer....
