their strategic alliance through 2011. The two companies are
committing to broader and deeper product interoperability and service
delivery to address key customer requirements including
virtualization, security and content management through the powerful
combination of Microsoft's data center solutions and productivity
applications with EMC's information infrastructure solutions and
consultancy. As a result, joint customers will benefit from more
productive and less costly dynamic IT infrastructures that can
effectively respond to today's rapidly changing business requirements
and economic constraints.
At an invitation-only event for chief information officers and other
IT executives, Joe Tucci and Steve Ballmer discussed how the two
companies will continue to deliver value to mutual customers through
collaboration including a deeper focus on storage and protection of
information in virtualized environments, increased productivity
through centralized management of content, and leading-edge security
solutions to prevent data breaches.
"Microsoft and EMC are committed to working together to create
enterprise infrastructure technologies that will help businesses build
extremely efficient and agile IT systems," said Steve Ballmer, chief
executive officer of Microsoft Corp. "Through the joint investments we
are making, we will continue to deliver solutions that enable
enterprise customers to meet their business goals today and lay the
groundwork for future success."
"The EMC and Microsoft alliance has delivered tremendous and
long-lasting value to customers for more than a decade," said Joe
Tucci, chairman, president and chief executive officer, EMC Corp.
"Today marks the next phase in this evolution. The companies remain
committed to delivering solutions that blend Microsoft's technology
with EMC's information infrastructure portfolio, spanning across
virtualization, storage, IT resource and content management, security
products and consulting services."
