In my recent post on EMC I talked about how data de-duplication strategies peculated throughout their presentations. Apparently that is not the only thing that was percolating.
Today EMC offered $30 per share for Data Domain stock,$5 above what was already considered to be an attractive offer from NetApp.
Having just spent three days listening to EMC eloquently construct a strategic wrapper around their already disparate de-duplication options this is a move that is difficult to appreciate other than accepting it as Mr. Tucci audaciously exercising a Machiavellian agenda.
Does EMC really want Data Domain or do they just want to force NetApp to pay a higher and even more exorbitant price?
As always EMC is an interesting company to watch.
