Now we know, JDN, why IBM recently pulled out of the EMC-sponsored FibreAlliance. If these server guys don't watch out, Fujitsu and Siemens, which are allied with EMC in Asia, might end up grabbing some of their market share in some parts of the world.
"These are two server vendors who have been losing market share in storage for better part of a decade. And they're the two weakest server vendors among all the computer makers. They're both losing marketshare in their core server business left and right to HP, Sun, Dell," said EMC spokesman Mark Fredrickson. "Obviously, there is some urgency to this move."
Fredrickson also maintained that the announcement mentioned no new features or functions.
"There is not a thing you can buy now that you couldn't buy last week," he said.
