Sun approaches the horizon as the final stage of Sun's integration process into Oracle starts today with the notification of removal from Nasdaq and S/P 500 Index. 28 years, Sun has been a symbol of the innovation in the industry. Java, Solaris, SPARC, NFS, ZFS, Glassfish, SunRay and newly acquired Mysql, Virtualbox ... You name it. For its employees, Sun offers a great flexibility to boost their working days. A number of talents were cultivated here. I just realized all of us, the Sun guys are going to become Sun alumni in a way or another. While the wiki page for Sun Microsystems is approaching its final updates, yet the history is worth being written into the MBA textbook as a good case to analyze. Anyhow, Sun will rise again, but this time in Oracle red.
