American Fortune Life

"Om-um-"

In the luxurious bedroom where Chinese and Western are combined, the surroundings are dark, and only the floor lamp in the corner emits a dim light, barely seeing the situation in front of you.

Messy clothes were scattered quietly on the rugs around, the truffles originally drenched in the air had become weaker and lighter, the mahogany kingsize carved with landscape on the back, and Andy's sculpted handsome face wrinkled slightly. He frowned, and opened his eyes in the constant buzzing of the mobile phone on the wound cabinet.

Andy tried to extend his left arm to grab the mobile phone. The distance was a little far away, and he could only slightly depress the little assistant who was curled up in his arms like an octopus, and gently moved away, and put the head of the sleeping assistant's head down. On the pillow, the golden hair spread out in a mess, looking at the red glow on the white Bai Qiao's face that was close by, and her slightly frowning eyebrows, Andy couldn't help raising his lips, shaking his head and smiling slightly.

Looking at the corners of his mouth rising, his little assistant with a satisfied face flashed a word in Andy's mind. A good female assistant would say boss, good morning!

The very good female assistant is the boss, it's morning!

Lifted the quilt down, picked up a nightgown and put it on. Then he picked up the cell phone that was no longer buzzing, and walked out of the bedroom, looking at the missed call.

"Edward Ye."

Andy was stunned first, but immediately started to call back. You must know that Lao Ye generally does not make his personal phone call. Today, he called him at this point, but imagined the importance of the matter.

"Sorry, boss, bother you to rest."

As soon as the call was connected, Lao Ye's words of apology came from the phone. Andy smiled and said, "Oh, I won't wake you up. I feel depressed. I worry about what you are doing. Contact me in such a hurry, don't scare me. "

"Oh, don't worry, the company is normal together. I'm so anxious to call you because of Oracle's acquisition of Sun."

When Andy heard this, he couldn't help frowning a bit, and said with some confusion: "We haven't talked before, don't you say that even after the integration of Sun, Oracle is not enough to shake the stable server, storage, and software service business market structure." ..."

Not long ago, Oracle, which promised to be "the world's largest enterprise software company," announced that it had eaten server maker Sun for $ 7.4 billion, causing worldwide concern.

Prior to this, only IBM and HP in the IT community were full-service companies for enterprise users, capable of providing server, storage, and software services. However, in the past five years, Oracle has gradually transformed through the acquisition of PeopleSoft and other companies. After the acquisition of Sun, it eventually became one of the full-service companies. Many people think that the IT industry has shifted from a situation where the two tigers are competing to a state where they stand on a tripod.

However, Lao Ye sneered at it. Lao Ye's original words were, "...... It is not a three-legged situation. From last year's turnover, ibm was 103.6 billion US dollars, hp was 118.3 billion US dollars, Oracle and Sun added But it was $ 36.2 billion, about a third of the first two companies.

In terms of profits, IBM is $ 12.3 billion, HP is $ 8.3 billion, Oracle and Sun's profits are less than $ 6 billion, and it can be seen that the profit is less than half of IBM's. From the product line, although there are servers, two of them have databases, two of them have middleware, and both have management software and information services, but this does not form a tripartite situation. "

In fact, many media also believe that Oracle has acquired a hot potato. Before that, the transition to the so-called "software as a service" or cloud computing has caused the sun core server business to become chaotic, and the integration of the sun server business will greatly increase. Oracle's risk.

Of course, some people think that after Oracle's acquisition of Sun, an enterprise version of Apple was born. For a long time, Sun has been very unique in hardware. It has always used its own hardware platform and its own operating system to focus on the image of high-end users, which is consistent with Apple ’s approach for more than a decade. The strategic Java programming language and solaris operating system under its control. As a result, Oracle will become a representative enterprise leading the development of the Java standard.

"My opinion remains the same, but I am afraid that many people are wrong about the purpose of Oracle's acquisition of Sun ... I think Oracle's true purpose is to compete for software developers!"

When Andy heard this, he could not help frowning, sitting on the sofa in the outer living room, reaching out and pressing the service bell, waiting for Lao Ye's text.

"In the long run, Oracle will not have any interest in the hardware and systems business. In the future, it will find buyers for these businesses and spin them off.

You know, Oracle's software business has a gross profit margin of more than 90%, so it is not interested in the hardware and systems market.

I think it bought Sun for one thing, and that was to become the center of the software development community. . . Through the acquisition of Sun, Oracle will be able to control the Java programming language and some important development tools based on it. At the same time, you can get the resources of thousands of related programmers. This can give Oracle a huge influence it has never had before, and thus compete more strategically with real competitors such as IBM and Microsoft. "

Hearing here, Andy couldn't help but look a bit difficult. After saying "coffee" to the maid who came in, and watching the maid leave, he said to the phone: "The Oracle rumors about the industry It may be possible to abandon the open source database mysql, which can be completely ignored, we have no chance to pick up cheap? "

"I'm afraid yes, although Oracle has a lot of database assets, but none of them can be more attractive to today's eb-based world than mysql. People at Oracle will definitely find that linux free database software company mysql is the most successful and will make It continues to grow rapidly. "

"This is really a headache!" Andy was also analyzed by Lao Ye, giving him a headache. To be honest, after I learned that Oracle acquired Sun, I also felt that the only thing that Oracle might split or abandon was Oracle. The thing is, Sun originally acquired mysql company, which was used to expand the user and developer community, and then created a business service to attract paying users. Because the business is highly repetitive for Oracle, Andy and Lao Ye's wishful thinking is, When Oracle sells, we will eat the old mysql company that knows its value, to improve and improve their self-developed general-purpose database of Musika cloud computing.

You know, that year, Yahoo! in the United States started to use the mysql database first. At one time, thousands of servers in the world all used the mysql database.

At the time, Yahoo ’s aura was much higher than today ’s Google and Facebook. It can be said that the architecture of all Internet companies in Tianchao today can find its source in Yahoo. Under the demonstration effect of Yahoo, Tianchao ’s Internet companies started their own Mysql way.

MySQL's status on the Internet is irreplaceable, especially in the Tianchao. All Internet companies also learn more or less. After worshiping these open source databases, they developed and developed themselves.

"In this way, not only can we not achieve our goal, but the database industry must worry that MySQL will gradually become a business-like software. Will MySQL's license agreement become more harsh than it is now!" Andy was a little bit upset Said.

"It's almost the same. Of course, this is not very relevant for our Mousica Cloud Database. Maybe it's a good thing. After all, we are a brighter future. After the database is on the cloud, a lot of gameplay has just begun. We will provide a more imaginative future. "

"Since this is the case, Lao Ye, then you call this ..." Andy is also very confident about this, but he may not be comfortable with the cheap items that he always wanted to pick up. He is still not very comfortable. Now he listens Lao Ye said this, he was a little speechless, and directly asked him the purpose of the call.

"Dig people! Spare no effort to do everything possible to dig people from sun! As long as it is a relevant programmer, you can dig it with a high salary, how much is required, it is best to dig it all, not to give Ellison the old **** , Leave a talent! "Lao Ye said very seriously.
