惠普凭“一堆废铁”起诉甲骨文：法院判赔30亿美元 - 甲骨文,惠普 - IT资讯

7月2日消息，据外电报道，甲骨文发言人周四称，美国加利福尼亚州的一个陪审团就Itanium服务器案勒令甲骨文向惠普企业赔偿30亿美元。

甲骨文称，它将会对这项判决结果提起上诉。

Itaniuum（安腾）芯片是由英特尔开发的。在2011年，甲骨文决定停止为惠普基于Itaniuum芯片的服务器开发软件，声称英特尔已明确表示将会停止生产这种芯片，转而专注开发x86微处理器。

但是，惠普称，它曾与甲骨文签署过协议，要求甲骨文继续为Itaniuum服务器开发软件。因为没有相应的软件，惠普的Itaniuum服务器就等于是一堆废铁。

在2012年第一阶段的审理过程中，圣克拉拉高级法院的法官詹姆士·克莱因伯（James Kleinberg）判定，这两家公司之间签有合同，应该按照合同办事。而在本周四，陪审团则宣判甲骨文需要向惠普支付赔偿款。

“惠普对于陪审团的判决结果感到非常满意。这项判决结果肯定了惠普已知道的事情和强有力的证据证明的事情。”惠普企业的常务副总裁兼总顾问约翰·舒尔茨（John Schultz）在一项声明中说。他还表示甲骨文停止为Itaniuum服务器开发软件的决定“明显违反了合同”。

在一项声明中，甲骨文总顾问多利安·达利（Dorian Daley）称，自从克莱因伯法官勒令甲骨文执行合同以来，该公司一直在为Itaniuum服务器提供最新的软件。

“现在，这两次审理结果均已出来，我们想就今天的判决结果和上次的判决结果提起上诉。”达利说。
