According to the
press release, Oracle will stop supporting the Itanium platform altogether,
including all databases.
Just out of curiosity: what selling-points will there be left for Itanium servers? From personal experience I know that the ports of FLOS software are mostly very out of date (sometimes from years past), operating system support is pretty much down to HP-UX, and with the departure of one of the largest databases using it as a backend server seems risky to me.
Opinions (not flames)?
