EMC Jumps Into ADBMS Appliance Game

By Merv Adrian on November 4, 2010

The Data Computing Appliance, first deliverable from EMC’s acquisition of Greenplum, was announced last month, only 75 days after the acquisition closed, and it doesn’t lack for ambition.  Pat Gelsinger, EMC CEO, pointed to the high level opportunity: unlocking the “hidden value” of enormous and growing data assets every company is increasingly holding, and often […]

Symantec need to stop hiding their Green light under a bushel

Symantec need to stop hiding their Green light under a bushel

By Tom Raftery on October 6, 2010

I attended Symantec’s Vision 2010 event in Barcelona yesterday and I found it to be hugely frustrating! Symantec are one of the world’s largest computer security companies with 31,000 customers, 18,400 employees (PDF), and revenue in 2009 of $6.2 billion. At yesterday’s Vision event however, they missed lots of great opportunities to talk up their […]

Research Report: The Upcoming Battle For The Largest Share Of The Technology Budget (Part 1)

By R "Ray" Wang on July 27, 2010

Is your technology provider a hardware vendor or a software vendor? Does your System Integrator now provide solutions in the cloud? These questions will continue as models converge.
