I would expect HPE to get bought by Oracle or IBM at some point in the next few years.

I don’t know why oracle would want it. Since buying sun the share and recognition of sun hardware is even less than the lowest point since sun owned sun. I haven’t seen a sun box in over a decade. Except eBay. I guess oracle has the cash to just buy it to lessen competition? IBM I thought was focused on power like they always are but never do anything with it. It’s still damn near impossible to find a power 8 vendor.

So I guess I just don’t see any reason for oracle or ibm to buy them.

For their sales and support contracts to a very large percentage of medium size businesses.
