With an announcement this AM, the aquisition of SeeBeyond for $387 Million in Cash we see ourselves dedicated and driving hard towards a much awaited directive for Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) implementations. I see this more as a reinforcecment of one's commitment to drive an organization towards success. Well, for those pessimists out there, success is way closer than you think ;-) John Loiacono has a very nice writeup on his blog on this aquisions and a few prior ones. Gartner had very recently positioned SeeBeyond in the Leaders Quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Integration Backbone Software, 1H05 Here's an excerpt from a report on The Motley Fool :
Scott McNealy, doesn't mince words. When he bought StorageTek recently, he advised investors to expect other deals. He certainly wasn't wasting any time. Sun's SeeBeyond acquisition will bolster the company's embrace of Web services, standards-based technologies that allow an organization to better link and access its servers, applications and databases.
Remember what I said in my prior post ?. You will soon be shockingly impressed !!
BTW:The TOP RANKED ANALYSTS : Gardner, Richard from Smith Barney Citigroup & Fortuna, Steven from Prudential & Wagonfeld, Joel from First Albany Corp. & Bachman, Keith from Bank of America Securities & Shope, Bill from J.P Morgan have ALL rated SUNW with 5 stars, However Hunt, Kevin from Thomas Weisel Partners & Chu, Richard from Sg Cowen & Co. have rated SUNW with 4 stars.
According to this report, IBM will continue to license and use Java technologies from Sun, including Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) and Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) and Java Card throughout its software products, including its middleware and web services portfolios for another 10 years. Now that's a very nice birthday gift for Java's 10th birthday. Additionally, in response to customer demand, IBM will broaden support of its DB2, Rational, Tivoli and WebSphere software to include the Solaris 10 OS on x64 AMD Opteron based platforms.
Customers from multiple industries have voiced support for IBM applications running on the Solaris 10 OS.
Way back in January this year, Jonathan Schartwz challenged IBM to make a move to Solaris, (which can be read here); and even though analysts reports that sprouted from this were contrary (like this, this & this) to popular belief, we see that the results prove otherwise ;-) & Hello World, we have a lot more proof of our Horse Power coming you way soon.
