Hewlett-Packard Enterprise is asking a jury to award the company $3 billion from Oracle after the database giant stopped supporting HPE’s Itanium-based hardware, even though it allegedly signed a contract to do so.
A jury trial in the 5-year-old legal dispute between the tech giants is scheduled to begin Tuesday, nearly four years after a California judge first ruled that Oracle must continue porting its software to HPE’s Itanium platform. The new trial is scheduled in Santa Clara Superior Court in California.
