This post on internetnews spells out IBM's plans to announce a significant strategic move in its server and storage systems group next Tuesday.
excerpts from this post that caught eye are as follows:
(I am not commenting on them as it'd be considered biased and unfair if I did.)
"There are a number of things being announced that week; some of it will likely be storage related," said the analyst, who asked not to be named.
Sources told internetnews.com IBM has been sniffing around a start-up called Incipient, which makes storage virtualization software that helps "companies more efficiently manage, move and protect their data." But this rumor was shot down.
IBM spokeswoman Lisa Lanspery flatly denied the news has anything to do with Incipient, saying that she'd never heard of the company. Robert Infantino, senior vice president at Incipient, also denied such a deal was in place and said his company doesn't discuss its OEM partners. If Big Blue were to partner with Incipient in an original equipment manufacturer's deal, it could sell the company's startup in its own products. IBM could also buy the Waltham, Mass., company outright to fortify its position in the storage virtualization market against rivals like EMC and Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), the source said under condition of anonymity. Such a deal is intriguing.
It's also possible IBM just wants to make it harder for EMC to sell its new Invista virtualization software, as well as put a crimp in the sales of HDS' TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform (USP).Read the entire post at internetnews.com for a first hand report on this subject.
