I don't even know if their Database software is all that special anymore.  MariaDB does almost everything Oracle does, and these days who is looking for traditional databases anyways?  Everyone is hosted in the cloud, using whatever distributed database tech Amazon and Microsoft are peddling.  

I'm sad Sun has disappeared, it was a cool company with a great logo and unique hardware.  If they were still around they would probably be selling Cloud.

Cloud, cloud, cloud.  Thats what it's about now.
