After we reported that Oracle CEO Larry Ellison was threatening to “go after” HP, which he characterized as a softer and more vulnerable target than IBM, with his newly reconstituted Sun boxes, HP had Burson Marsteller, its outside PR people, send us a statement saying:
“HP is the No. 1 provider of enterprise servers in the world. We are focused on our customers, and those customers continue to be won over by our combination of technology, product performance, and pricing. The numbers prove it – our Enterprise Storage and Servers segment saw 25% revenue growth year over year during Q4 FY2010, and HP was the only major UNIX vendor that reported server growth.“Larry Ellison bought a money-losing business that had steady market share declines for years, and which still ranks at the bottom of the market. Customers aren’t fooled by outdated benchmarks, no matter what Oracle says. HP’s market share results prove it. Sun customers are running to HP in droves because they recognize we deliver superior technology, performance and pricing.”
We’ll see.
