Sun Products are now part of Oracle’s Solutions for Utilities
Oracle has broadened its utilities offerings with the acquisition of Sun, a leading provider of standards-based computing systems, service, and storage. Oracle's Sun products for the energy and utilities industries are extensive and innovative. The acquisition combines best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems, enabling Oracle to engineer and deliver an integrated system—applications to disk—where all the pieces fit and work together so that customers do not have to do the integration themselves. Utility customers can benefit as their system integration costs go down, while system performance, reliability, and security go up.
