Guerra Oracle-HP-Intel resolución del caso

Bueno, parece que por fin se acaba el culebrón este, y que los clientes de Oracle con un servidor Itanium vamos a poder respirar.
Recordemos que el asunto empieza el 22 de Marzo de este año, con el anuncio de ORACLE de que paraliza los desarrollos para Itanium. Eso suponía que no iba a haber Oracle12 para servidores con procesador INTEL Itanium, cuyo principal fabricante en el mundo es HP.

En Agosto los tribunales daban la razón al fabricante HP, y ahora por fin, ORACLE anuncia que reanuda el desarrollo para dicha plataforma, y su lanzamiento coincidirá con el de la plataforma de IBM.

Oracle Issues Statement
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., September 4, 2012

Oracle issued the following statement today:

Previously, Oracle announced that it would stop developing new versions of its software on Itanium microprocessors. For example, that meant version 12c of the Oracle database due out in early 2013 would not be available on Itanium. However, a judge recently ruled that Oracle has a contract to continue porting its software to Itanium computers for as long as HP sells Itanium computers. Therefore, Oracle will continue building the latest versions of its database and other software covered by the judge's ruling to HP Itanium computers. Oracle software on HP's Itanium computers will be released on approximately the same schedule as Oracle software on IBM's Power systems.

Saludos.
