Will IBM purchase Sun ?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Too many reports talking about IBM’s potential to acquire Sun Microsystems (Here is one report from The Wall Street Journal). People said the deal might go through in the coming weeks, and IBM most likely pay $6.5 billion to get it done. The question is why IBM is so interested in buying Sun ? What is the impact on hardware and software market ? Is it good for Sun Solaris & IBM AIX ? What will happen to IBM’s POWER and Sun’s SPARC ? To answer all these questions, I have collected number of information from different resources that might help me in this matter.

Since Sun has a good business in hardware market, IBM will get more scale so it can confront Cisco entering this market. Another reason why IBM interested in purchasing Sun is because IBM is software and services company, and it needs hardware in order to provide a full solution. Find below figure that shows the top corporate in hardware market (This figure is qouted from Znet web site)
