Oracle to stop development on the Itanium

[ecc_guru]

I am not surprised by Oracle's announcement to cease development on the Itanium platform. It is just a matter of time since Microsoft & RedHat have both done it. I run a large platform of HPUXs/Oracle 10g/SAP running on the multiple Superdomes.

We're not going to purchase any more Integrity servers and looking into migrating to MS Windows and Oracle 10g and beyond. Since the future is x86, I am no longer tied to HP. Now I can choose to buy x86 servers from any vendors. Superdome is good hardware; they're also SuperExpensive to maintain.
