Its funny to me when I heard the news about Oracle buying Sun. The way the "word of mouth" spread was "Larry just bought Sun".
Now I know Larry Ellison is an interesting character and he's known for speaking bluntly, but to give Larry the entire credit (or blame - depending on who you are) is a bit "out there" for me to accept.
Its been about a year since Data Domain was acquired by EMC for $2.4B. What affect did it have on Quantum, the vendor EMC was OEM'ing their dedupe appliance from prior to buying Data Domain?
What's changed for Quantum since that massive check was written?
I read a blog on StorageMojo today, "How Tape Dies". I have to admit when I saw that blog post, I thought...not another one. This is like that kid's joke about Pete and Repeat in a boat. After I read it, I was, well relieved. Robin Harris does a great job. Here's my comment to Robin's blog post.
