I know they uses SUSE and HP. I dont think Oracle is realizing anything regarding this except there is no license revenue for them on HPC Solaris/systems.
And thats so plastic and real. Its true indeed since Sun/Solaris never been a top 10 HPC player, *but* Sun did improve the image past years and start convincing people about its HPC resources. So Oracle should have invest and continue the effort. Thats my point. HPC business is important but probable with a return a bit later. What Im afraid, based on this example, is that Oracle is looking for a simple market segment, where they could milk a lot of licenses for their products. Thats all. This means goodbye to old good Solaris from many parts of industry ! And might mean legacy :( Probable Cockcroft is starting to be right http://perfcap.blogspot.com/2010/08/open-letter-to-my-sun-friends-at-oracle.html stefan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
