Sun obscured by The Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| I wrote previously that "Java-in-the-cloud" will lead us
| to "Platform-as-a-Service" and as I continue to think about it, Sun has more
| of the pieces than any other BigCo--the right of hardware, operating system
| (Solaris) and development environment (Java) than does HP, IBM, or Microsoft.
| And don't forget that they also have MySQL and a huge development community.

Report: Open-source databases on the rise
,----[ Quote ]
| This is also why Sun is increasingly playing the leadership role in open
| source. I've opined before that MySQL could become the hub of the open-source
| ecosystem, just as Oracle has built itself into the hub of a significant
| proprietary ecosystem.

IBM's EnterpriseDB stake: not what you think
,----[ Quote ]
| Ergo, this deal is IBM dipping its feet gingerly into a back door challenge
| to Oracle, not MySQL. Ever since IBM held back on its own SQL database
| invention, allowing Oracle to grab leadership of the market, it has always
| responded by making DB2 cheaper. But it still plays second banana. Investing
| a modest chunk in EnterpriseDB is a way of having somebody else test drive a
| new strategy for carving a wedge inside the Oracle market, something that IBM
| has hungered for going back at least 20 years.
