Oracle Fusion Middleware

Best-in-Class Enterprise Software
Oracle's acquisition of Sun enhances the world's #1 middleware portfolio. With the addition of Sun products, Oracle continues its commitment to deliver innovative, best-in-class enterprise software that meets the business and IT needs of 90,000+ middleware customers. Oracle is the only middleware vendor built on a foundation of unique design principles—principles that are reinforced with the integration of Sun's middleware products:

• Complete—single, strategic partner for all middleware requirements
• Integrated—certified integrations with Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Database, and Oracle Applications reduce costs
• Hot-Pluggable— interoperability that goes beyond industry standards
• Best-of-Breed—across every middleware product line

Oracle Fusion Middleware plays a critical role in Oracle's plans to engineer and deliver an integrated stack—applications to storage—where all the pieces fit and work together so that customers do not have to integrate it themselves. Customers benefit as their deployment and operational costs go down while system performance, reliability, and security go up.

The Java Community
With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle continues to innovate and invest in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community. Oracle Fusion Middleware is built with Sun's Java language and platform and also hosts applications and services written in the Java language.
