Last week, Oracle FUD-bombed the Itanium processor. Like Oracle’s own SPARC chip and PowerPC at one time, Itanium was supposed to be the future for most everything — but all of these chips ended up on the largest and most fault-tolerant systems each company supports. Announcing the death of any one of them puts question marks on the class — and given that Oracle’s SPARC is the most exposed, that seems like throwing stones from a glass house. Oracle seems to be doing a lot of crazy stuff at the moment.
Maybe the shenanigans of their executives contributes to their products' effectiveness? The IT Service provider dcVAST supports their Solaris OS. If you're interested, check it out here http://www.dcvast.com/Oracle_Solaris/
