More competitive heat- Hardware for Oracle, competing with DEC.
I have heard that Oracle is in the process or are already in an
OEM agreement to have a dedicated hardware platform from Sequent.
Has anyone heard the same, or is it smoke?

No one knows for sure what is coming, but...
Oracle is spending mucho dinero to port their database software to the
NCube machine, a massively parallel Unix-based system made by ETA, a
company with 33 employees. You don't need an MBA to figure that a
company Oracle's size isn't spending this amount of effort to "partner"
with a company as small as ETA. It has already been reported that
Oracle "may take" an equity position in ETA.
Whether Oracle will market the NCube box or use it as leverage against
Sequent remains to be seen. Either way, it appears that Oracle will be
marketing some form of hardware around the end of this year.
