SemiOT:EMC Reports Fourth-Quarter Loss On Weaker Demand for Storage Systems
A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE News Roundup

...Customers are still focused on doing more with less when it comes to information technology spending, said William Teuber, chief financial officer, in a conference call with analysts to discuss fourth-quarter results. But he said EMC expects normal seasonality in the first quarter, with a sequential decline of 5% or slightly more in the first quarter

Of course, EMC's target market is the bigger fish. ADIC is more of the small to medium companies. I would think that the spending pictures would be similar for both targets.
