IBM intends to buy the company Sun Microsystems, reports The Wall Street Journal, referring to the information received from its own sources inside the companies. IBM expects that the transaction would increase its market share in servers.
According to The Wall Street Journal, IBM offered to Sun Microsystems for about 6,5 billion dollars. This is about twice as much market value of Sun Microsystems.
Negotiations between Sun Microsystems and IBM have begun recently and are far from complete. Analysts do not rule out that the transaction did not take place.
According to IDC, IBM controls 31.4 per cent of the market of servers. Companies of HP and Dell took 29.5 and 11.6 per cent of the market respectively. The percentage of Sun Microsystems in the server market was 10.6 percent.
It is possible that the deal between Sun Microsystems and IBM could prevent regulators. Both companies are dominant Unix-servers. In addition, Sun Microsystems and IBM has several products in the same segments of the software and data storage systems.
