Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle bought TimesTen
Will Uncle Larry ever run out of ambition? I guess not. So the
question is: Who's Next? My bet: Sun Microsystems. Reason: Combine
the computer & storage with the database engine & OS into a black box
appliance.

Subject: Oracle bought TimesTen
Not sure that many people are aware of the database called TimesTen.
Oracle aquires them (not sure is it the same as bought them).
http://www.oracle.com/timesten/index.html
I used to work with TimesTen and it looks that Oracle made a crazy good move with this.
TimesTen is going to give Oracle exactly what they do not have, as TimesTen is much faster in the direct mode (directly attached shared memory) and can be used for the middle tier caching, client side fast lookups, replacement for Oracle Lite and small businesses, combining into the better HA with RAC, or who knows what.
