Splitting EMC and VMware doesn't make as much sense as eBay/PayPal or HP/HP, since EMC and VMware have pretty much identical customer bases. HP Consumer and HP Enterprise have of course mutually exclusive customer bases, and eBay and PayPal have some overlap but not much.
EMC is basically the brand name of VMware's storage products.
- boynamedsue 12y agoMost of EMC's current value is thought to be based on VMWare. So they've always been hesitant to sell VMWare as a result.
- walterbell 12y agoApparently the VMware-Cisco SDN competition is hurting EMC-Cisco storage partnerships.
- ghshephard 12y ago" HP Consumer and HP Enterprise have of course mutually exclusive customer bases" I would have thought there was a lot of overlap. Don't people who have HP Laptops/Desktops and Printers also have HP Servers?
- Spooky23 12y agoThere is, except that there it's no money in PCs anymore, and print is a low/no growth business.
