Well, this certainly isn’t particularly surprising. The rising popularity of Android leaves more victims in its wake than just Windows Mobile. Sony Ericsson, one of the major manufacturers of Symbian phones (other than Nokia) has just announced it will pretty much abandon the platform to focus entirely on Android – leaving Nokia as the sole person cheering for team Symbian.

Acabei de ler essa reportagem Larry Ellison, da Oracle, declara guerra contra IBM e SAP, e decidi postar alguns pontos interessantes aqui.
Recomendo a leitura completa no artigo original.
o CEO da Oracle, Larry Ellison, ousadamente, declarou guerra contra as duas empresas atualmente líderes nos mercados-chave: a IBM, em servidores avançados, e a SAP, em aplicativos corporativos
Ellison compôs seu ataque à SAP com base no que disse sobre as três falhas-chave na estratégia da empresa: 1) tecnologia antiga e pouco competitiva da SAP; 2) ausência de aplicativos específicos para indústria; 3) tentativa desfocada de recuperar crescimento ao tentar vender software de ERP para pequenas e médias empresas.
Em aplicativos, a SAP é a líder. Mas a tecnologia que eles usam para esses aplicativos é uma tecnologia proprietária – uma linguagem de programação alemã chamada ABAP. É uma tecnologia de 25 anos que ainda é o centro de sua arquitetura e estratégia para aplicativos futuros, essa ABAP”, disse Ellison. “O centro da nossa estratégia, pensando no futuro, é Java e uma moderna arquitetura orientada a serviço.
“Me perdoem por falar tanto, mas, neste momento, a estratégia deles é tentar vender ERP para seus clientes com menos de 100 funcionários – essa é a nova estratégia deles, Business ByDesign, que, acredito, esteja atrasada uns três anos – e, caso seja bem-sucedida, não dá pra ganhar muito vendendo para empresas com menos de 100 funcionários”, disse.

I have heard a lot of people worry about the future of Java, MySQL, Netbeans and GlassFish after that Oracle acquired Sun.
Today I read Adam Bien’s Weblog :
…Oracle GlassFish Server is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware application grid portfolio and is ideally suited for applications requiring lightweight infrastructure with the most up-to-date implementation of enterprise Java, Java EE 6, and Java Web services. Oracle GlassFish Server complements Oracle WebLogic Server, which is designed to run the broader portfolio of Oracle Fusion Middleware and large-scale enterprise applications…”Read the whole paper.
I admire Sun. They created those awesome products such as Java, Netbean, GlassFish, VirtualBox and son on, however I have to admit that Sun business model wasn’t working.
If you still believe that Sun business model worked, answer me, why did shareholder approve to sale Sun to Oracle?
Do you sell your company or company share if it is still profit?
No, I don’t. I just sell it if I have losses.
I’m not concerned about the future of Java, MySQL, Netbeans and GlassFish, however I make sure that Oracle will change the business model behind of these products.
I advise Oracle to keep up the open source communities that maintain these products so beloved by developers and open source enthusiast; however Oracle need to profit through these products. To keep an open source product alive, they need to spend money.
I advise Oracle to keep up the open source communities that maintain these products so beloved by developers and open source enthusiast
How much does IBM spend to keep Geronimo community active? There are a couple of IBM employees working on this open source project.
How much did Sun spend to keep GlassFish or Netbeans community active? There were a couple of Sun employees working on this open source project too.
How much will Oracle spend to keep GlassFish or Nebeans community push on? There are many Sun-Oracle employees working on this open source project too.
In a successful manner open source projects such as Eclipse, Linux, and so forth survive nowadays, because there are a lot of companies investing money, time, and resources in these products. For instance, a couple of IBM Rational products are based on Eclipse. How many companies release hardware and software products based on Linux?
All those companies that are investing in open source products are interested for some reason on these open source products, I can bet the reason is these open source products are helping their business model.
Open source products are helping their business model.
I think Oracle plans the same to GlassFish. The same that IBM does about Geronimo or WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (based on Geronimo).
The same that Red Hat does about its Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora as well as SUSE pair does on SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE.
I’m not worry about, since now Oracle GlassFish Server is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware application grid portfolio. As Java developer and Architect I really support that Oracle and IBM offer for purchase their application servers and spread their Java portfolio.
I really want that Oracle to keep up the open source communities that maintain these products so beloved by developers and open source enthusiast, and also improve them (products and communities)
