However, some product questions are likely to go unanswered Wednesday, and Oracle plans a series of webcasts in the coming days to provide more details A big theme at the event will be how Oracle says it can build better systems for customers because it owns so much of the enterprise server stack under one roof It will develop more products, like its Exadata Database Machine , that combine hardware and software optimized for particular tasks, such as data warehousing "Having all those pieces in house gives Oracle an opportunity to do all the tuning and tweaking of components so that they work well together, and it may help them bring products to market more quickly," said IDC analyst Jean Bozman

SUN'S SLIPPING POSITION The maker of what once were unchallenged as the speediest workstations and servers lost ground in recent years as low cost hardware running on powerful but cheap processors and standard operating systems became more robust and scalable For example, in 2008, the New York Stock Exchange migrated its trading systems from Sun Solaris to Linux running on HP servers "Sun historically has been very strong on Wall Street," said IDC analyst Jean Bozman, with Sun hardware used for transaction processing and analytics
