CEO Joe Tucci said for what must be the umpteenth time Tuesday that EMC has no intention of parting with its roughly 84% majority stake in virtualization leader VMware. The occasion was EMC’s first analyst day in a dog’s age. EMC has been under pretty constant market pressure since VMware IPO’d 20 months ago to divest its position on the theory that the two companies would be more valuable split up. Tucci, however, thinks "We will get more traction and more opportunities doing it the way we're doing it."
Cloud computing is one of Gartner’s top 10 strategic technology trends for 2009 – #2, right behind virtualization. Analysts say the economics of cloud for customers are truly compelling.
Citrix says SAP will virtualize about 500 servers with XenServer by mid-year to reap the rewards of server consolidation.

EMC Wednesday said it’s buying Configuresoft, the makers of server configuration, change and compliance management software, on undisclosed terms. The transaction is expected to close next month and have little impact on EMC’s results this year. EMC traced the acquisition to its y...
HP CEO Mark Hurd told a Sanford Bernstein conference in New York Thursday that he’s not ready to call a bottom or even speculate on the timing of a breakout, when the bubble of pent-up demand created by four-year-old desktops, notebooks, and servers will burst. He was pretty much rep...
As Lot’s wife found out, looking back can be nasty and Q1 was very nasty for servers according to IDC. Server revenue worldwide dropped 24.5% year-over-year to $9.9 billion in the first quarter, it says, the worst showing in the 12 years the researcher has been keeping count. It was ...
A Massachusetts court has decided that the former president of EMC’s storage business, David Donatelli, until a few weeks ago the company’s number two guy in charge of the bulk of its ~$15 billion in revenues, can go to work for HP after all. He just can’t do the job he was hired...

With an ever-increasing number of companies now buying computing, storage, and networking power as they need it from the cloud, it is hardly surprising that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series is going from strength to strength. The Call for Papers for the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, which will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, on November 2- 4, 2009, is now open.
Now held three times a year, in New York, Prague, and Silicon Valley, the organizing principle of each International Virtualization Conference & Expo remains the same: our aim is to ensure, through an intense and carefully chosen program of technical and strategic breakout sessions, that attending delegates leave each Conference with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging Virtualization, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the efficiency and flexibility of their Enterprise IT endeavors.
SYS-CON Events announced that Software AG was named "Gold Sponsor" of the upcoming SOA World Conference & Expo 2009 East. The 15th International SOA World Conference will take place June 22-23, 2009, in New York City. This June's SOA World, which is the world's number one longest-running SOA event, will feature parallel content-rich tracks reflecting the worldwide adoption of the distributed computing paradigm, in which web services are deployed through specific service-oriented architectures.
SYS-CON Events announced today the latest event in its innovative series of real-world technology conferences, Government IT Conference & Expo, a two-day deep dive into the new wave of Internet-based technologies that are changing the way that Federal agencies leverage, procure and utilize IT. GovITExpo, which is being held October 5-6, 2009 in Washington, DC, builds on the success of SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo, the fastest-growing conference anywhere in the world devoted to the delivery of massively scalable IT as a service using Internet technologies.
SYS-CON's 2nd International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, held on March 30-April 1, 2009, in New York City, attracted more than 40 sponsors with over 1,300 delegates, a record attendance, up from the last Cloud Computing Expo in San Jose, CA. Cloud Computing, through which massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies, has many interpreters just now - and many interpretations. The next event, Cloud Computing Conference & Expo Europe will take place, May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic. The three content-packed days emphasized value with a rich array of sessions led by exceptional speakers about the business and technical value of cloud computing. Enjoy the photo album of the show, which is updated daily.
SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Conference & Expo Europe, held on May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic, is the first major cloud event in Europe and is co-located with SYS-CON's Virtualization Conference Europe 2009. The next event is the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Santa Clara, CA, November 2-4, 2009, co-located with the the 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo.
