Oracle SPARC layoff - is driver of bus to be blamed for the accident ?
To close on the story , Oracle SPARC and Solaris is dead. Of course the spin to story (for customers) is that they will be releasing minors, but that's just running in a wind with candle. If I were a customer, I would get off from Solaris , and... — read more

I will not miss Solaris in the least bit.
I learned to be an SA with Solaris, starting in 1995. Over the years I watched it's decline as Linux matured. I also learned that the open source community was way more valuable as an SA when it came to fixing bugs, getting help, etc.

Yes, MH can say Amazon's infrastructure is "old"
We're so far behind that our server farms are "new" or non-existent. Cloud infrastructure team scaled-back their grand expansion after realizing that it would be far too large to support the modest subscription growth.
Hardware support and operations layoffs
Heard that hardware support and operations just had layoffs this morning. Impacted groups seem to be materials planning, backlog management and logistics. This was expected as part of the earlier RIFs for SPARC and Solaris. No headcount yet.

After the cut
I am an ex-Sun employee who was cut Jan 2017. And I am relieved. I was surprised how much stress it has removed from my life. The constant knowledge that Sun was circling Oracle's drain was eating away at me. Not knowing when I would get the axe is... — read more

Time to fire LE and Sc and for LE to retire

Sun shutdown
The crazy people that said that Oracle bought Sun just to shut it down and use the patents to sue Google are looking pretty non-crazy now. I guess once the lawsuit was lost (and boy was it expensive) the shutdown was inevitable.
Oracle cloud - $10bn - how are things going ?
So how's the journey to $10bn going? Easy pickings or tough slug? What's your experience and how do customers like oracle cloud ?
Fortune: the best cloud computing companies and ceos to work for in 2017 based on Glassdoor - not oracle
Oracle at the bottom - why is that ? What a surprise isn't it - LOL!

Boycott oracle
If you work for an oracle customer and believe that the ban is wrong, put oracle purchase on hold and let your sales reps know that you're looking for oracle to support American values of inclusion. Put your money where your values are. Just look at... — read more

Silence from oracle on entry ban
Oracle remains one of very few tech companies to remain silent on the immigration/ entry ban. Shameful pandering. Total greed by the three stooges. Especially SC ought to know better given her family history.
3000 Axed since jan 19.
These guys are axing left right.
