UK-based medical software company BridgeHead Software has welcomed news that Oracle's $7.4 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems has been given the green light by regulators in Europe.
The major deal, which was first announced in April 2009, will give the world's second-largest software company access to Sun's hardware and Java/Solaris technologies and will allow the further development of end-to-end solutions.
Tony Cotterill, chief executive of Bridgehead, said that the move is also good news for the firm's Heterogeneous Enterprise Archive Topology (HEAT) solution, which was developed in partnership with Sun.
He added: "For clients using Sun solutions, as well as companies developing solutions such as HEAT that support those solutions, this deal makes sound business sense.
"For that reason we fully support Oracle in its aims."
Following the completion of the acquisition of Sun, Oracle hosted a live all-day webcast explaining its intentions for the company and its aims for the future.
