RSSEMC Denies VMware Sale, Shares Cloud Storage Plans
Rumors fly, but EMC leader Tucci denied VMware sale while at EMC World. He also shared more details on the company's forthcoming offerings for storing data in the cloud.
Cloud storage will bring EMC further into consumer markets. "I do believe there's going to be a fair size of middle class and up homes throughout the world that will have a terabyte of storage in their house, and this is a market worth playing in," Tucci said.
When storage is connected to the so-called cloud over the Internet, information will be easier to share and protect, and easier to access from any device, he added.
While some would argue that information inherently becomes less secure when it leaves the data center and enters the cloud, EMC is working on embedding RSA security capabilities into its cloud infrastructure, according to storage product marketing vice president Barbara Robidoux.
