As usual, Ellison seemed to find another hot space to sink his teeth into. This move is good news for Oracle and the application deployment market as a whole. But I think the lingering question is what will Oracle do with mValent? Will they evolve the mValent Integrity product to be surrounded by and dependent on Oracle-only products. Where does that leave the huge customer base that relies on other middleware offerings like IBM WebSphere, RedHat JBoss, BMC Bladelogic, HP Server Automation, IBM Build Forge, etc.? Phurnace is now the only vendor-neutral automated deployment vendor - - a fact that has serious implication for customers with mixed technology environments. I can talk all day about this topic.
