Sun's storage team would work really well either as an autonomous unit within Oracle or a seperate company (unfortunately the last is unlikely unless the staff themselves do a 'JRuby').

Solaris is doing poorly as a general purpose Unix OS to sell Sun support / hardware for, but as an embedded hardware/software appliance Sun kit is both better and cheaper than its counterparts, and they have some extremely talented engineers (though they've bled 27% of their staff since last year).
