Dear Nathan, by ROCK, I believe that EMC means they offer the support for e-commerce through their storage facility.
EMC is the leader in this field. EMC has teamed up with Oracle, a company that offers data bases, among other things.
So eToys, a company, will use EMC's product(s) and Oracle's product(s), according to John Hnanicek. I hope this information helps.
I copied this from EMC's home page:
John Hnanicek
CIO, eToys
"EMC is the rock on which we
base our scalability and all of
our reliability. It?s one of the
key foundation points of our
whole IT infrastructure."
"Oracle and EMC are the
industry standard in
e-commerce. And that?s why
they are at the core of our
infrastructure."
PS: Reading between the lines, etoys believes it will have a good Christmas season! But that's my own opinion, that's my own interpretation of the material on EMC's home page about etoys. And the Chief Information Officer Mr. Hnanicek is grateful for the support of EMC and ORACLE, the two companies that are the ROCK (because they offer the support or infrastructure) for etoys e-commerce.
Best,
Mephisto |
