Oracle is expanding into the computer hardware business in an effort to make its database software run more efficiently.
CEO Larry Ellison unveiled his company's plans to sell a "database machine" in a Wednesday presentation at an Oracle customer conference that attracted nearly 43,000 people. It marks the first time in Oracle's 31-year history that the company has added hardware to its product line.
The machine, which is being manufactured and maintained by Hewlett-Packard Co., is designed to enable large companies to fetch information stored on databases more quickly. Oracle is the world's largest seller of database software.
