Oracle users concerned with open source support
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software (OSS) has made big inroads with Oracle customers
| in recent years, but old concerns over security and technical support
| die hard, a new Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) member survey finds.
|
| [...]
|
| In April, Oracle chief executive officer Larry Ellison floated the
| possibility of Oracle launching its own Linux operating system. Kaplan
| said that such a move would be good for Oracle customers because the
| system would likely tie in closely with Oracle applications and therefore
| improve the performance of those systems. He added that it would
| essentially give customers a one-stop shop for their IT needs.
|
| "It would be a good idea for Oracle to develop its own operating system
| or have a very close partnership with one of the Linux operating
| systems vendors," Kaplan said.
