Oracle Buys Sun Microsystems

Tuesday, April 21, 2009: Oracle Corporation has agreed to buy California-headquartered Sun Microsystems in a $7.4 billion (or $9.50 per share) deal. Sun's acquisition by Oracle caught many in the industry by surprise as the deal came just two weeks after IBM abandoned its bid to buy Sun. According to analysts, the deal strengthens Oracle's position against IBM and HP for dominance of the server and storage markets.
Kapil Dev Singh, country manager, IDC India, said, "The Oracle-Sun merger brings together two strong brands with strengths in software and hardware space with the combined entity aspiring to make a mark in the enterprise IT space. Sun's strong computing platform and Oracle's middleware and database platforms will make Oracle's IT infrastructure offering stronger. What brings added value is their consolidated face as part of the bigger IT infrastructure offering in an environment where individually these components are a commodity."

"Oracle-Sun's competitive positioning in telecom and BFSI space will strengthen as individually both players have a strong presence in these segments that contribute about one-third of India's domestic IT market. The challenge for the merged entity lies in how well it can convince CIOs keen on leveraging their IT investments that is completely a services play. With applications, middleware and hardware piece in place, the services capability seems to be missing. This is important considering that the IT consolidation wave in enterprise space in general, and telecom and BFSI segments in particular, is slowly giving way to IT leverage wave. This deal seems to be little late from that perspective," he added.

There are substantial long-term customer advantages to Oracle owning two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris. Java is one of the most widely deployed technologies, and it is the most important software Oracle has ever acquired. Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle’s fastest growing business, is built on top of Sun’s Java language and software. Oracle can now ensure continued investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.

The Sun Solaris operating system is claimed to be the leading platform for the Oracle database, Oracle’s largest business, and has been for a long time. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle can optimise the Oracle database for some of the high-end features of Solaris. Oracle says it is as committed as ever to Linux and other open platforms and will continue to support and enhance our strong industry partnerships.

“We expect this acquisition to be accretive to Oracle’s earnings by at least 15 cents on a non-GAAP basis in the first full year after closing. We estimate that the acquired business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracle’s non-GAAP operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2 billion in the second year. This would make the Sun acquisition more profitable in per share contribution in the first year than we had planned for the acquisitions of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined,” said Safra Catz, president, Oracle.

“The acquisition of Sun transforms the IT industry, combining best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems,” said Larry Ellison, CEO, Oracle. “Oracle will be the only company that can engineer an integrated system – applications to disk – where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves. Our customers benefit as their systems integration costs go down while system performance, reliability and security go up.”

“Oracle and Sun have been industry pioneers and close partners for more than 20 years,” said Sun Chairman Scott McNealy. “This combination is a natural evolution of our relationship and will be an industry-defining event.”

Jonathan Schwartz, CEO, Sun, “From the Java platform touching nearly every business system on earth, powering billions of consumers on mobile handsets and consumer electronics, to the convergence of storage, networking and computing driven by the Solaris operating system and Sun’s SPARC and x64 systems. Together with Oracle, we’ll drive the innovation pipeline to create compelling value to our customer base and the marketplace.”

The board of directors of Sun Microsystems has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer, subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Game Over: No IMEI, No Mobile Connection

About 250 lakh handsets are expected to be out of service from April 15, as GSM service providers, including Airtel and Vodafone, gear
up to deny connectivity to cell phones without International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number.

Concerned over the national security, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has asked operators to disconnect services to handset that does not have an IMEI number. IMEI is a 15-digit code which appears on the operator's network whenever a call is made.

If all service providers adhere to the deadline given by DoT, nearly 250 lakh handsets, which are almost 10 per cent of the total GSM mobile phones in use in the country and mostly China-made, are likely to go out of service, industry sources said.

Analysts feels that the move is also likely to hit the revenue of telecom firms as phones which have no IMEI numbers are usually low-cost and unbranded and used by low-end subscribers.

Jab Raat K Tanha Lamhon Mein
Koi Aahat Mujh Se Kehti Hai
Is Dil Mein Halchal Rehti Hai
Koi Jugnu Pass Se Guzre To
Koi Baat Halak Se Nikle To
Main Khud Se Ulajhne Lagta Hon
Phir Jaane Kya Kya Kehta Hon
Phir Yaad Uski Aati Hai
Phir Pal Do Pal K Lamhe Ko
Yeh Sans Meri Ruk Jati Hai
Ek Sholah Dil Mein Bharakta Hai
Woh Dard Sehar Tak Rehta Hai
Phir Weham Mujhe Yeh Kehta Hai

Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai
Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai
----------------------------------------
Dosti meri bas us gham se hai,

Mila jo mujhe sanam se hai.

Tujhse gilla nahin hai mujhko,

Shikwa is mausam se hai.

Humse kiyon chhupati chehra,

Tera husn bhi to hum se hai.

Mujhse aur door na ja too,

Meri saans tere dum se hai.

Mujhe aur kuch chah nahin,

Bas tu meri kasam se hai.

=========================
Aajnabee se dost jub banati hai dosti,
Dil ke karib dil ko lati hai dosti
Sare farq bus yun hi mitati hai dosti,
Khushi aur gum mein gana sikhati hai dosti
Dost ke liye jina sikhati hai dosti,
Dhadkan ka sur ban jati hai dosti

Broken heart..

Lonely and hurt,
Broken I remain
Residing in hell,
living in pain...

Masked by lies,
I slowly fade away...
The nightmare I live with,
each and every day

The meaning of it all,
to which my mind attends,
Has not one answer
that I fully comprehend...

The bottom of my mind
holds the answers which I call,
I keep reaching towards it
in this never-ending fall...

"Stay strong and keep going,
it's never too late"...
No one seems to realize
that it's not worth the wait

There's no such thing
as help outside of your mind,
It's you against yourself,
with your demons intertwined

It's a battle, hard fought,
but never to be won...
Either way you end up losing
when it's all said and done

"Too late" came and passed...
and, of me, nothing more
I wrote my own ending,
and I shut my own door...

"Live your life to its fullest"
that's what they all said,
But what's the point in trying
when you're already dead?

How To Get Top Quality Products By Joining Paid Membership Sites

You will never be able to write enough original content in your entire lifetime to be able to rake in six or seven digit profits. It simply cannot be done. Nobody can type that fast. Nobody is able to do all of the research necessary to write E-Book after E-Book.

But you have heard of marketers who are able to turn those kinds of profits with “their own products” - so how do they do it? They take advantage of paid membership sites that allow them to download countless articles, E-Books and other graphical and textual goodies. Then they turn those profits into gold by aggressively marketing them to the public.

If you want to be able to make it big in the internet marketing world, unless you create some stunning web application like Google, MySpace, or YouTube you need to learn to use paid membership sites that are full of top quality products to your advantage.

No matter what kind of content you prefer, there is a website out there that you should consider joining so that you too can maximize your profits without having to do countless hours of grueling work.

How many times have you stumbled upon an amazing package of private label articles or E-Books with master resell rights that you know could bring you amazing amounts of gross profits - but you quickly realize that those items were sold out long ago?

You missed an amazing opportunity to turn an incredible profit with almost no work on your part, and you vowed never to have something like that happen to you again.

So you sign up for as many feeds and mailing lists as you possibly can in hopes that you will have first access to all of the hot new resell rights products on the market before anyone else - but it turns out that you miss a great deal time and time again.

If you are sick and tired of always finding out about great products too late, then it is high time for you to find a new way of going about your business. You need to get in touch with the authors themselves.

While a lot of people will recommend that you should instead join a membership site in order to have access to a massive database of content, you will still only have access to new content at the same time as your competitors - which is not really the best way to do business.

However, by going to marketing conferences and actually meeting many of the famous resell rights authors that you have read works from in the past, you will be in a much better position to learn what kinds of products are going to be released soon - and when they will finally hit the market.

This can give you a fantastic edge over your competition, as you can have your own fresh marketing site all ready to go as soon as you have access to the hot new product.

Even if you cannot make it to marketing conferences to meet the authors in person, try to get in contact with them through email or over the phone. Writers and designers love to have admiring fans, and if you can convince them about how much you love their work , they will let you in on secrets about their upcoming releases in no time.
