Goodbye Sun!

Sun UK has had another round of redundancies, and I have been caught by it this time, as have a number of other good people. So it is goodbye to Sun from me, and to this blog.

I was looking forward to writing lots of interesting things about the new Galaxy servers and Niagara as they came to market, and we got to see what they could do running Oracle databases and applications. Especially when they would be running Solaris 10, with all its new features and advantages.

At the moment I am not angry by the decision (it is important to keep the business viable), just mainly disappointed. It seems a waste of the past 6 years as an Oracle / Performance specialist at Sun to be 'let go' when Sun is releasing some of the most interesting technology and products during the whole of that time (see the previous paragraph).

Anyway, I still wish Sun the best, as it is the most innovative computer systems company out there, and does have some interesting products and technology coming down the line. As I see some of this stuff get released I might blog about it at my personal blog at johnmbrady.blogspot.com
