Dell, Wall Street, Magic Beans, and the End of EMC

September 7, 2016 By Stephen 1 Comment

As of today, EMC Corporation is no longer an independent company. Who thought we would see this day? From now on, EMC is simply a brand for parts of Dell's Infrastructure Solutions and Services businesses. This marks a major shift in the enterprise storage world, for IT, and perhaps for American business in general. Investors Are Happy with Magic Beans? I have been … [Read more...] about Dell, Wall Street, Magic Beans, and the End of EMC

Doodling on the Value of EMC, VMware, and Dell’s Offer

October 12, 2015 By Stephen 2 Comments

Dell and EMC announced today that they have reached a deal to combine, taking EMC private and retaining control of VMware. But this transaction is complicated by EMC's 80% stake in VMware. Let's consider the value of that substantial and important holding and what it means for the Dell offer.

EMC XtremIO Upgrade is Non-Disruptive to Customers

October 7, 2014 By Stephen 9 Comments

EMC's XtremIO is crapping on the badge; it's an immature ball of destruction that shows how much architecture matters. Or so my favorite storage bloggers say. But customers and resellers seem to have a different take on the destructive XtremIO 3.0 update: They don't care. Not at all. Although the numbers haven't been released officially, I'm hearing very, very strong … [Read more...] about EMC XtremIO Upgrade is Non-Disruptive to Customers

Cisco’s Trojan Horse

September 15, 2014 By Stephen 10 Comments

Industry watchers like me have long wondered when Cisco will transform itself into a full-line IT infrastructure vendor. This strategy was tipped in 2009 as Cisco barged into the server market with UCS. But one leg of the stool is still missing: Storage remains the province of Cisco partners like EMC and NetApp. The Rack Endgame I recently wrote about “The Rack Endgame”, a … [Read more...] about Cisco’s Trojan Horse
