Guest Column: EMC Is Looking Up And Finding Itself In The Shadow Of NetApp's Cloud

By Jerome M Wendt, Lead Analyst and President, DCIG Inc.

It has been rumored that EMC's CEO Joe Tucci has said that EMC's biggest threat comes not from Dell, HDS, HP or IBM but NetApp. It is for that reason that EMC has been looking over its shoulder for some time to see what NetApp is up to in an attempt to stay one step ahead of it from a technology perspective. But after attending NetApp's annual Analyst Days last week, it is time for EMC to stop looking over its shoulder and start looking up because EMC now finds itself in the shadow of NetApp's cloud.
