After more than 30 years, Oracle remains the gold standard for database technology and applications in enterprises throughout the world: The company is the world's leading supplier of software for information management, and the world's second largest independent software company. And now, with its acquisition of Sun, Oracle is taking a leadership role in the hardware arena. Oracle has developed a complete system for customers based on hardware from Sun and software from Oracle.
Now more than ever before, Oracle technology can be found in nearly every industry, and in the data centers of 100 of the Fortune Global 100 companies. Oracle is the first software company to develop and deploy 100 percent internet-enabled enterprise software across its entire product line: database, business applications, and application development and decision support tools.
It is innovation that drives Oracle's success. Oracle was one of the first companies to make its business applications available through the internet—an idea that is now pervasive. With the latest release of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle has introduced new products and functionality that reflect the company's goal: connecting all levels of enterprise technology to help customers access the knowledge they need to respond to market conditions with speed and agility. Even before the acquisition with Sun was finalized, Oracle and Sun introduced the Sun Oracle Database Machine, the world's fastest machine for any type of database workload. Today, Sun servers and storage, Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Applications, Oracle Grid Computing, support for enterprise Linux, and Oracle Fusion all fuel a commitment to innovation and results that has defined Oracle for thirty years.
