• Sun’s share (15%) peaked in Q1 2001 and has since been on the decline.• HP has held relatively flat around 20%.
• The $250K+ server market segment spending has been declining since 2000 and since the end of 2005, thespending has stabilized around $15B. The z10 EC™ growth raised the segment growth rate from 4 to 7% for2008 and helped raise the segment spending to $16.1B.

Oracle’s announcement does not address SPARC investment protection
Oracle’s stated reasons for acquiring Sun“We estimate that the acquired business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracle’s non-GAAP operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2 billion in the second year. This would make the Sun
acquisition more profitable in per share contribution in the first year than we had planned for the acquisitions of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined.”
- Safra Catz, Oracle President
“Sun Microsystems has a variety of exciting products, but two of their software products -- the Sun Solaris operating system and Sun's Java™ programming
language -- were instrumental in Oracle's decision to acquire Sun.”
- Charles Phillips, Oracle President
“Sun hasn't been able to generateenough sales to cover its risingoperating costs, resulting in manyquarters of missed earnings targets.Huge research and development
costs and administrative expenseshave left Sun with razor-thin margins.The company has lost $1.86 billion inthe past two quarters, the first half ofits current fiscal year.” – DavidMacDougall

• Are your investments in Sun HW, SW, Skills and Applications at risk?- “How quickly will Oracle exit the hardware business? My bet: ASAP”. Bruce Richardson -
- “SPARC's market share has been falling to rival UNIX server vendors like Hewlett-Packard and IBM,
giving Oracle more incentive to cut the development of SPARC or sell off the business.” Jim McGregor
Chief Technology Strategist -
- “In order to deliver $1.5B in op. profit, [Oracle] would need to boost profits by $700 million assuming
no material revenue erosion, which suggests incremental headcount reductions of 5,500 to 10,000
depending on timing.” Tony Sacconaghi -
• Increased cost ahead?- “The database giant is hitting users of its databases and application server software with increases of
between 15 percent and 20 percent in licensing.” - June 2008 -(Note: Quote is not on Sun products, but is an example of what Oracle’s done in the past after itpurchased another company, BEA)
- “I expect we'll see Oracle jacking up maintenance (Java) license prices on existing Sun customers.”
Michael Cote -
• Will there be disruption to your ISV Ecosystem / Business Applications?- “A combined Oracle/Sun shows uncertainty among the Data Warehouse appliance vendors--such as
Greenplum and ParAccel--who have partnered with Sun and now find themselves in earnest “co-opetition”
with full-competitor (and then some) Oracle.” James Kobielus –
- “Oracle’s not so stellar history with open source” Charles King -

Solution Value Stable nonstop core system
Superior reliability, availability, and scalability
Improved transaction rate with high-speedinternal network
Highly scalable environment with System zvirtualization
Optimized hardware cost (System z + Systemx hybrid system)
Existing Java applications run without rewrite
Pain Points Instability of distributed environment
Frequent outages and reliability
Poor transaction performance due to complexphysical network
Poor scalability
High hardware and software cost associatedwith aging infrastructure
Migration concerns of existing Javaapplication
IBM gains infrastructure and Oracle consolidation on System zand Linux from SUN Solaris at a Japanese Electronics Client.
83.3% Savings of ISV SW Licencing Client evaluated the System z capabilities and determined that all applications could
successfully migrate without rewriting the existing Java applications.
IBM understood client pain points and was able to quickly design, develop, andimplement a solution.
"IBM System z is the best system as the next generation open platform in terms of reliability, scalability, and system performance. We evaluated IBM because of its end to end support including installation services and
maintenance services. Also, IBM demonstrated the high quality proposal, articulated the clear and concrete architecture roadmap, so that we concluded that IBM is the best and the trusted partner." Client Corporate Information

1. Availability: Standish: z10 is “out” 110.3 minutes/year: Sun’s M9000?, Sun 2100’s?
2. Linux on z: up to 80% savings1 —consolidate to Linux from Distributed systems
3. Space and Energy use: about 1/3 of what our competition uses; similar workloads4. Thoughput/performance: 9445 transactions per sec. Core Banking benchmarks
5. Security: System z is unmatched; EAL 5 government ratings
6. Virtualization: enables utilization up to 100%: new images in minutes/hours, not days
7. Management: Business-goal based, not IT “rules-based” (meaning more flexibility)
8. Business Continuity: “10” rating by Gartner
9. Roadmap Predictability: steady increase in performance, capacity, and innovation
10. Investment Protection: cost-saving conservation of skills, applications, technology
