IBM and ******* ********* Team to Take on EMC

Relationship to Deliver Open Storage Technology for Information on Demand
Offers Lifeline to Clients Locked in by EMC

IBM and ******* ********* today announced a strategic storage relationship to drive information on demand solutions and to expand IBM’s portfolio of storage solutions, already one of the largest and most advanced sets of storage and information management products in the industry.

As part of the relationship, IBM and ****** will enter into an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement that will enable IBM to sell IBM branded solutions based on ******* *********(TM) unified and open network attached storage (NAS) and iSCSI/IP SAN solutions, including NearStore® and the ****** V-Series Systems, as well as associated software offerings. International Data Corp. (IDC) recently announced that ****** was the revenue share leader in both NAS and iSCSI for calendar year 2004(1). Under this agreement, IBM will reach into more countries than any other OEM reseller for ******.

if anyone could buy us, ibm could buy us. sure, we’re big, but they’re fricking huge. they just got all that thinkpad money from lenovo, not that they need it anyway.
