This podcast is all about EMC.com.  We examine content from the following industry trade magazines: Network World, Information Week, InfoWorld, Computer Reseller News, eWeek, Federal Computer Week, and Computer World; and try to synthesize the information into a systems analysis quick-look summary.

Here is a list of companies that we mention from the research that EMC has recently had an acquisition announcement, partnership agreement, or a technology purchase from:

RSA Security, Dell, Arkivio, StoredIQ, Kashya Interlink Group, Acxiom, Internosis, Acartus, Captiva, Maranti, Rainfinity, Legato Systems, Documentum, and Smarts.

EMC has also announced the following new or updated products in recent months:

• Clariion AX150 and AX150i
• Insignia Solution Data Protection
• Clariion Disk Library
• SAFE 2.2 (for Microsoft Exchange)
• Smarts Application Discovery Manager
• Assessment Service for Storage Security
• Symmetrix DMX-3 storage array systems (more info)

From our perspective, EMC definitely seems to have a structured roadmap to transition from ‘just a storage solutions provider’ to a full service ‘data classification system’ with hooks from the bottom of the protocol stack to the top.
