Oracle Will Keep Making Software for Itanium-Based Machines

Oracle Corp. said it will continue to develop software for computers that run on Intel Corp.’s Itanium microprocessors, following a judge’s ruling that the company is contractually obligated to do so.
The Redwood City, California-based company previously said it would stop making new versions of its software for Itanium chips. Last month, a California judge agreed with Hewlett-Packard Co., a maker of Itanium-based machines, that Oracle made a commitment to support its servers running the chips. Oracle said at the time that it would appeal the ruling.
