EMC and Sun Team to Deliver Benefits of Solaris 10 EMC Platform Qualification and Software Porting of Solaris 10 to Meet Customer Interoperability Requirements HOPKINTON, Mass. and SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Thursday, June 23, 2005 - EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced they've reached an agreement on a number of hardware, software and support initiatives designed to help customers more easily deploy their technologies together. The companies will work to ensure compatibility between the EMC family of networked storage platforms and the Solaris™ 10 Operating System (OS). EMC also intends to port key storage management software to Solaris 10 including EMC® PowerPath® and EMC Legato NetWorker®, as well as software from its EMC Documentum®, EMC Legato® and EMC Smarts® product families. Once these efforts are complete, EMC and Sun customers will be able to cost-effectively manage, protect and share information, using EMC storage systems and software with Solaris 10 OS on both SPARC® and AMD Opteron™ x64 processor-based systems. Isnt this a HOOT? Reminds me of the good ole days when I said my wet dream was a merger between EMC and SUNW. jdn
