Oracle Acquisition of Sun Makes Perfect Sense [View article]
HP could take Sun's server sites and build them out with support and/or added HP hardware. Sun also has x86 servers based on Intel and AMD, and those could be added or swapped for HP Blades. Being best in tech is not always being most successful ... the need for high-end servers was eroded by advances in software and applications. Still, the niche at the top is long-term, and HP plus Sun there is a good balance to IBM.
