To my knowledge EMC provides NO SOLUTION to Y2K problem,
what they provide is adequate STORAGE for companies to TEST their solution.

That's my understanding, too. But if a company is going to duplicate their database or a huge chunk of it in order to test it thoroughly, they will need a lot of storage.

The question I have is, if this comes true, isn't it also true that 2000 and 2001 will be bad years for EMC since everybody who bought tons of storage to test their Y2K solutions will now have enough storage for their regular needs for the next few years?

In a way the company does provide solutions to the Y2K problem since they are part of a group of companies partnering their services to do just that. Founded in late 1996, Millennia Ill, which has offices in the United States and Europe, is a privately-held professional services company focused primarily on Year 2000 solutions. EMC is a strategic partner and minority investor in Millennia Ill.
