So what does hp gain?
So, other than VMware, what does EMC actually have to offer that isn't an overlap with hp's business already? I suppose they could finally ditch the XP array and wave goodbye to Hitachi seeing as EMC can offer mainframe capability, but that's about it from the EMC storage portfolio. And whilst EMC do have some very good sales, support and services people, that's not really a good enough reason to want to pay up for them. It can't be Dave Donatelli's doing, I hear he's finally and totally cracked and gone to work for Mad Larry's vapourware division.
