IBM and Oracle - Introduction

This is the first blog on IBM and Oracle and I thought to create it ahead of the Collaborate 2011 conference in Orlando - April 10-14, 2011. For a while IBMandOracle has been a Twitter handle @IBMandOracle and topics of interest to IBM n Oracle community has been Tweeted there.

So what would be a topic of common interest in the world of co-optetion! Well how about Oracle RDBMS 11g R2 on IBM's System Z:
#Oracle database 11gR2 is now generally available for #Linux on #IBM #SystemZ #Mainframe ! http://bit.ly/bxzTd3

While the competition has been highlighted in recent years between IBM and Oracle, specially after the Sun acquisition by Oracle, the fact remains that IBM - GBS or the global business service is one of the largest System Integrators for Oracle ERP stack such as Oracle E-business Suite (EBS). The proof is the Gartner and Forrester's rating year after year in that space. Through the blog pages here, I will post items of interest to the IBM and Oracle community such as the IBM participation in the major Oracle related events such as Collaborate and Oracle Openworld.
