I know many of you were waited with baited breath for my installment 2 of 2 of data classification, but I have decided to delay that for a while. I want to look into some other things to write about, and since the announcement of the EMC acquisition of RSA yesterday, I am looking closely at that and the impact (if any) it may have on the data classification status.
What I am seeing so far from this is EMC basically leaving RSA alone so they can keep doing their thing. Joe Tucci calls it EMC’s “string of pearls†approach. Mike Rothman basically says the same thing in today’s Daily Incite:
“But historically, EMC leaves their big acquisitions alone - integrating technology where it makes sense, but letting them operate in the way they need to for their respective markets.â€
This does position EMC perfectly for the wackos to come out of the wood work to start accusing them of trying to take over the world. Just watch and see.
