Oracle/Sun will no longer resell Hitachi Data Systems' high-end USP array product, the 9990V and 9980V systems. The writing had potentially been on the wall since Oracle acquired Sun and spoke about storage products it valued, like the 7000 product, and left the 9900s out of the spotlight.

I would expect that Oracle will put the effort into making the CMT chips up to snuff to not have to resell Fujitsu next.
