Oracle

Oracle is a software company which has grown and thrived primarily through the sale of its enterprise grade RDBMS solutions to large companies and organizations, but has also grown through acquisitions, strategic partnerships and innovations to include a number of other significant technologies including servers (hardware) and storage devices, Web Server software, E-Business & BPM software, ERP software, CRM software, Financial software, Grid/Cloud Computing & Virtualization technologies, Oracle-developed Linux distributions and other development tools; not to mention the increasing revenue it earns through its consulting and technology support services.

Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in 2009, thus becoming owner of the Java language, JVM and all notable Sun technologies, including the Sun-acquired open source MySQL RDBMS.
