Yes, there's little overlap at the moment, but....

There's a general assumption that EMC bought Data General last summer for DG's CLARiiON storage products, with the idea of EMC expanding into the middle size market (and into NTAP's space). CLARiiON under DG was mostly OEM'd to computer builders like Unisys, Bull, HP, Dell, StorageTek. Under EMC, they're adding a major direct sales effort into the middle-sized enterprise storage market "for price sensitive customers". [above summarized from Merrill Lynch report 10/99]

So some level of EMC/NTAP collision greater than present will occur, maybe late 2000 and into 2001. I'm betting on NTAP.
