Sun bundles servers in MySQL blankets
,----[ Quote ]
| You're Sun Microsystems. You have a server lineup you brag about all the
| time. You have one of the best operating systems in the world in Solaris. And
| you shelled out $1bn in cold, hard cash to acquire the most popular open
| source database in the world, MySQL.
|
| And now you have figured out that it might be a good idea to sell
| preconfigured bundles of hardware, software, and services set up explicitly
| for particular database-driven workloads. Make it a little easier for
| everyone to do deals.

| it admits was caused by its own slightly maladroit handling of an
| announcement, which in retrospect was bound to be controversial.
