25 Facts You Should Know About Oracle

Working its way from a small database management company over 30 years ago, Oracle has certainly arrived. Oracle today is a giant. Oracle is considered the second or third largest software company in the world with both database software and enterprise application software, having grown both organically and through a legendary and aggressive acquisition strategy. That strategy has made Oracle one of the biggest technology companies globally, that now also has a hardware play since the Sun Microsystems acquisition. With tens of thousands of partners and hundreds of thousands of customers around the globe, Oracle's impact on the technology industry as a whole and on the channel in particular cannot be understated. Channel Insider takes a look at the Oracle of yesterday and today. Find more fast facts about top IT companies. -

Five years of Sun software under Oracle: Were the critics right?

They said Java, MySQL and Solaris were all doomed

Oracle-Sun anniversary Back in 2010, critics worried that Sun Microsystems' software portfolio would wither on the vine once Oracle got its hands on it. Five years on and the worst fears have proven baseless, yet former Sun diehards have had plenty to be disappointed about since Larry Ellison & Co gobbled the former server heavyweight.

Although Sun was founded in 1982 as a maker of Unix workstations, in its later years it had assembled a rich collection of software, ranging from servers and middleware to databases, virtualization platforms, high-performance computing (HPC) tools, and even the OpenOffice.org productivity suite.

Sun was also fairly innovative as commercial software firms went. By the 2000s it had become one of the largest corporate contributors to open source projects in the world. It had also adopted a unique business model, where customers paid monthly subscription fees based on headcount in exchange for unlimited access to everything in Sun's software portfolio. Unfortunately, however, this strategy wasn't earning it much revenue.

Oracle, on the other hand, is a very different kind of company from the Sun of yesteryear, one concerned foremost with the bottom line, rather than lofty notions of "community" and "sharing." And while many of Sun's software products have lingered on, post-gobble, others have been cast by the wayside in pursuit of profit, with Oracle focusing mainly on Sun's "crown jewels": Java, MySQL, and Solaris.

Former Sun customers, employees, and partners have met these changes with varying degrees of concern, outrage, and acceptance. They may all have good points.

Whose Java is it anyway?
