WSJ...EMC Corp. CEO:To Keep Taking Mkt Share From IBM And Others...

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--EMC Corp. (EMC) plans to grow faster than 30% by taking market share according to chief executive Michael Ruettgers.

"We're taking share from IBM and keeping anyone else from growing," said Ruettgers citing information from Dataquest in an interview with CNBC Thursday.

EMC makes and supplies enterprise storage systems and software for mainframe and open-system environments.

He said not even the so-called "Y2K lock-down" threatens EMC's growth. The lock-down theory holds that growth may slow in the technology storage systems industry because once companies are through debugging their computers and software, they might not buy new products.

Separately, Ruettgers said that the record date for the stock split announced this morning will be in May.

On speculations of spinning off its McData Corp. unit, Ruettgers said, "If they continue to grow and be successful, we'd set them up so at some point in time we'd have options with them."
