I’d forgotten about Pillar in all the excitement of the various acquisitions of the past 12 months but it appears that Larry has managed to get the Oracle stock-holders to buy out his play storage start-up. Good work Larry!!
Does this have any real meaning for the rest of the enterprise storage world? I suspect not, things are moving on quickly and Pillar will simply be consigned to the annals of history as a rich man’s play thing. It’s probably more proof that Oracle really have little clue about the hardware side of things and should have stuck to software.
According to Pillar official – workforce will be cut in half for the next 4 weeks, sounds like Larry have to chime in to get the deal done
