IBM to acquire Sun for $6.5bn in cash; the two companies account for two-thirds of the global market of high-end servers
IBM and Sun Microsystems were in talks on Wednesday over the possible acquisition – which would be valued at $6.5bn (€4.8bn) in cash. Of course, as any deal of such significance, it would face intense antitrust scrutiny. The two companies account for 2/3 of the $25.5bn global market for high-end servers. The deal could let IBM build scale and cut costs sharply while boosting its computer hardware business in the slow-growing server market.
