Oracle收购历程

拉里·埃里森(Larry Ellison)是世界上最大数据库软件公司甲骨文的老板,他的产品遍布全世界。他是陌生的人,但谁都似乎无法离开他。埃里森在32岁以前还一事无成。读了三个大学,没获得一个学位文凭,换了十几家公司,老婆也离他而去。开始创业时只有1200美元,却使得Oracle公司连续12年销售额每年翻一番,成为世界上第二大软件公司也被媒体称为最佳和利润最高的公司之一,他自己也成为硅谷首富。但只有少数人知道,这期间他经历了多么漫长的人生奋斗历程。32岁的他一无所有,到20年后的硅谷首富,外界对这个商业奇才的评价也是毁誉参半。

我们能从Oracle的官网上,找到Larry的生平,不过只是简短的一句话。但Larry Ellison是一个传奇,也是Oracle公司的灵魂,一个时代逝去,一个英雄谢幕,再不会有一个人能够超越他的影响力,但Oracle的世界里永远有他的一席之地。

Oracle收购了很多公司,这个与Larry的个性有关,首先就Larry个人来说,他是个很霸气的人。我没有的,别人有的,我就买过来,因为咋不差钱。近一两年的收购与云战略更紧密,Oracle在下一张大网,未来是云天下,谁占领了市场,谁就掌握了主动权,未来就在你的手中。下面Oracle收购的公司列表来自维基。
