While under the realm of former company President Charles Phillips Oracle has acquired 65 undertakings in the last 5 years and built its company on running them. Now it plans to acquire more companies specializing on semiconductors and manufacturers of specific software product on the market. We were informed about it by Chief Executive Officer of Oracle Larry Elison. It was announced in San Fransisco at the annual meeting of Oracle Corporation. The purchase of chip companies will expand the range of activities the company is involved into and will extend the push of Oracle Corporation into the computer hardware, which was started in the beginning of this year with purchase of a server manufacturer Sun Microsystems. Ellisopn added that the same policy is followed like the one that is pursued by Steve Jobs, Chief Executive Officer of Apple. They desire to be the owners of intellectual property which has to do with computer chips. The same thing was done by Apple before, which has purchased the semiconductors manufacturers in order to develop iPhone and iPad. Oracle bought chip know-how from Sun, producing servers on the basis of Sparc, its chip design, employing as well computer chips from Advanced Micro Devices and Intel. Oracle Corporation may purchase enterprise with server technology, as the analyst of Gleacher & Co., Doug Freedman considers. Among the potential businesses the company can target are Nvidia, AMD, and chip division of Nvidia. During the trades on Friday the shares of AMD and Nvidia went up. The designers of chips from Great Britain, ARM, powering the iPhone of the Apple Corporation also had an increase. Among other plans of Oracle is the purchase of the software companies that are aimed at serving in definite industries. Moving toward the specific industry areas, Oracle is going to look different from its competitors one of them is SAP. It is worth reminding that Larry Elison grabbed top spot in the list of best paid executives in the USA. |
