Big Blue...Big Borg!
The author is wondering whether EMC will try to avoid the fate of Hitachi's mainframe business, focusing on "moving into the IBM field" of offering software and services for more complete solutions.
Interestingly, one comment opines that EMC's acquisition of Documentum was "followed" by IBM's acquisition of FileNet, not realizing that IBM already has the leading document management software (IBM Content Manager).
Another comment cites IBM's recent push of Xen as another example "following" EMC's acquisition of VMware, again not realizing that IBM has had Logical Partition (LPAR) capability in its System z, System p and System i server lines for many years.
