Oracle closes the historical sun.com

The acquisition of Sun by Oracle has a trickle of consequences. The most noticeable is the change in policy on the open programs but there is another more symbolic. In a company blog announcing that the sun's domain. com will be active on 1 June. The company says that much of the contents that were in BigAdmin or OpenSolaris.com sites have been migrated to Oracle's corporate and engineers working on a solution to the hardware compatibility list. In the list of active domains, sun. com is the twelfth in antiquity. We recorded the same day, 3/19/1986 IBM.com. The domain oldest symbolics.com, is one year earlier.


The domain was registered four years later to the creation of the company by Scott McNealy, Andy Bechtolsheim, Bill Joy and Vinod Kosler. His project was based on providing an alternative based on a variant of the Unix operating system.
